Abstract
Hydrovoltaic Generators In article number 2400529, Shaochun Tang and co-workers reported a lotus-inspired interfacial evaporation-driven hydrovoltaic generator for efficient generation of water vapor and electricity from seawater. The freshwater-electricity cogeneration integrated system can harvest a record-breaking voltage reaching 105 V and a high freshwater harvesting rate up to 2.0 L m−2 h−1 in a well-lit outdoor area.
