Ion‐Transfer Engineering via Janus Hydrogels Enables Ultrahigh Performance and Salt‐Resistant Solar Desalination (Adv. Mater. 24/2023)

Abstract

Solar Desalination In article number 2300189, Lin Li and co-workers present a Janus ion-selective hydrogel interfacial evaporator, which enables ion-electromigration salt removal. The from-scratch salt-removal route breaks the limitations of the conventional water-convection enhanced routes, and significantly lowers heat loss, achieving a record-high evaporation rate and holding great promise for future solar interfacial evaporation applying desalination.
