Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Solar-driven interfacial evaporation represents an innovative and highly promising strategy to address global freshwater scarcity and enhance water purification technologies. The distinctive structure of natural mushrooms, comprising a pileus and stipe, offers a feasible pathway for designing efficient and low-cost solar evaporators. In this work, natural mushrooms were employed as solar evaporators to evaluate their performance in evaporating seawater and sewage. Under 3.9 suns illumination, evaporation rates of 4.89, 4.57, and 3.73 kg center dot m -2 center dot h -1 were achieved for sewage, deionized water, and seawater, respectively. Under natural sunlight conditions (0.5 sun), the mushroom evaporator attained rates of 2.62 and 2.13 kg center dot m - 2 center dot h -1 for sewage and seawater, respectively. The mushroom-based evaporator demonstrates not only exceptional photothermal conversion performance but also remarkable cycling stability and durability.
