Abstract
solar illumination. Most importantly, we can control the pore size of the bottom layer by a simple free water evaporation method, so as to manipulate the water transport capacity of materials. There is flexibility to change the water content of the light-absorbing structure and further explore the influence of water supply on the interfacial heating performance of the evaporator, which provides more possibilities for the design and preparation of high-quality solar steam evaporators.
