Abstract

A foamed Cu/CuO mesh was utilized to construct different dimensions (2D, 2.5D, and 3D) interfacial evaporators. The CuO nano-flowers were in-situ formed in the surface of Cu mesh, displaying the excellent hydrophilia, solar-light absorption, and water transport. The optimal 3D arched structure achieved the highest evaporation efficiency and rate, which was about 97.6 % and 1.93 kg·m⁻²·h⁻¹, respectively. Besides, 3D arched evaporator exhibited excellent desalination ability. This work suggested that regulating the dimensions of photothermal mesh can effectively improve the efficiency of solar-driven interfacial evaporation.
