Simple Hierarchical Interface Design Strategy for Accelerating Solar Evaporation

Shuai Li et al.

Summary: This study introduces a hierarchical interface design strategy to improve the performance of solar evaporators, accelerating water evaporation driven by solar energy. By altering the concentration and type of doped acid, the microscopically designed distribution gap of different PANI forms in HA facilitates enhanced light absorption, photothermal conversion capability, and steam generation rate. The designed macro interfaces introduce hemispherical depression structures to increase light absorption and recover heat radiation loss, achieving a high evaporation rate of 1.65 kg m(-2) h(-1) with a steam generation efficiency of 94.6% under 1 Sun irradiation.
