Description
Summary:Highlights Successful fabrication of photothermal 3D polypyrrole polymerized spacer fabric with excellent water transport capability and high solar absorption efficiency. The upward hanging model evaporator with reverse water feeding achieves an optimized solar evaporation rate of 2.81 kg m−2 h−1 with minimal heat (0.366 W) loss at a 52° tilt. A mangrove leaf-inspired upward hanging model evaporator design separates evaporation and crystallization zones for zero-liquid-discharge desalination.
