Abstract

Abstract The shortage of fresh water in the world has brought upon a serious crisis to human health and economic development. Solar‐driven interfacial photothermal conversion water evaporation including evaporating seawater, lake water, or river water has been recognized as an environmentally friendly process for obtaining clean water in a low‐cost way. However, water transport is restricted by itself by solar energy absorption capacity's limits, especially for finite evaporation rates and insufficient working life. Therefore, it is important to seek photothermal conversion materials that can efficiently absorb solar energy and reasonably design solar‐driven interfacial photothermal conversion water…
