Abstract
Solar-Powered Vapor Generation In article number 2000817, Ai Du and co-workers fabricated an ultra-black sponge with the typical antireflection structure inspired by the crest-ridge structures in the black scales of Bitis rhinoceros and used it for solar-powered vapor generation and desalination. The ultra-black sponge has excellent solar-thermal conversion and solar-powered vapor generation performances, combined with its low-cost and durability, making it possible to provide sufficient drinking water in homes and industry.
