Carbon foam derived from co-carbonization of lignin and petroleum asphalt for high-efficiency solar evaporators
Abstract
with an evaporation efficiency of 90.59%. During 11 consecutive hours of outdoor desalination testing, CF2 demonstrated inherent salt tolerance, with no crystallization observed on the surface, while producing freshwater that meets WHO standards. This study introduces a novel methodology for developing high-performance, stable materials specifically tailored for interfacial solar desalination applications.
