Designing low-cost and efficient evaporation system to maximize solar energy utilization is of great importance for the emerging solar water purification technologies. Herein, we demonstrate a universal sandwich hydrogel by...
A bio-inspired PANI nanofiber layer was fabricated on the surface of a hydrophobic PVDF microfiltration membrane for solar-driven distillation. This membrane possesses high solar energy-to-collected water efficiency for freshwater production under one sun irradiation.
Solar steam generation has attracted interest in water purification and seawater desalination as an efficient solar energy conversion method. However, the complex preparation process and limited efficiency restrict the practical...
