Highly efficient self-floating jellyfish-like solar steam generators based on the partially carbonized Enteromorpha aerogel

Chenjie Wang et al.

Summary: This study develops an efficient and self-floating jellyfish-like solar steam generation device using partially carbonized Enteromorpha aerogel. The carbonized surface exhibits high solar absorption and excellent photothermal effect, while the uncarbonized Enteromorpha retains its hydrophilicity and high-water transport capability. By optimizing the carbonization time and height of the device, a high evaporation rate is achieved, surpassing most SSG based on carbonized biomass. This development not only reduces the cost of solar steam generation but also addresses the issue of Enteromorpha pollution.
