An integrated highly hydrated cellulose network with a synergistic photothermal effect for efficient solar-driven water evaporation and salt resistance

With integrated activated water in a hydrated cellulose network and the synergistic photothermal effect between PDA and MX, the obtained PDMX@DW evaporator achieved a high evaporation rate of 2.08 kg m⁻² h⁻¹ under 1 sun illumination.
