Rational Design of Photothermal Nanomaterials towards Improved Solar Driven Water Evaporation Efficiency
11:05 AM

Given the vast abundance and inexhaustibility of sunlight, tapping into solar energy to produce clean water seems a viable solution to current global challenges of water scarcity and clean energy shortage. Solar driven water evaporation, which uses photothermal materials to capture and convert sunlight to heat so to generate water vapor, is an ancient technology for solar powered clean water production.
