In this work, a new kind of material, tannic acid@aminopropyltriethoxysilane@Fe3+ (TA@APTES@Fe3+) composite coating, with multifunctional performance has been developed for solar steam generation. The TA@APTES@Fe3+ has many advantages: (a) Scalability. The fabrication process is facile and mild; it can be realized in aqueous solution at room temperature, without high pressure, toxic organic solvents, or complex equipment. (b) Cost-effectiveness. The reagents used for preparation of TA@APTES@Fe3+ are low-cost and readily available. (c) Universality and good stability. TA@APTES@Fe3+ firmly adheres on surfaces of various substrates with diverse shapes (cotton, filter paper, wood, polyurethane sponge, and even chemically inert and highly hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride membranes), and can withstand rinsing treatment (3000 r/min for 96 h), cyclic frost-thaw test (-18 degrees C reversible arrow 30 degrees C, 90 times), and both high and low pH environments. Many other reported coatings, such as carbon black, fail under similar process strain. (d) Anti-crude oil-fouling property. The TA@APTES@Fe3+ possesses stable superhydrophilicity and underwater superoleophobicity, which collectively endow substrates with the ability to resist fouling by oils. (e) Broad and strong light absorption. TA@APTES@Fe3+ can transform various substrates with diverse shapes into black materials with broadband light absorption due to its d-d transitions and rough surface. Together, these properties of TA@APTES@Fe3+ enable substrates with nearly any structural design to be easily transformed into photothermal materials for efficient solar steam generation. As a proof of concept, poplar wood is treated with TA@APTES@Fe3+, achieving a water evaporation rate of similar to 1.8 kg m(-2) h(-1) (one sun), which is a record among wood-based photothermal materials.
