Abstract

We present a bioinspired body-centered cubic evaporator (BCE) that integrates cellular fluidics to achieve unprecedented ultrahigh evaporation flux in solar-driven interfacial evaporation (SDIE). The BCE platform features a three-dimensional cell-based structure fabricated with projection microstereolithography (PμSL) and enhanced with the gold-based photothermal conversion coating. This structure and photothermal conversion coating synergy optimizes water transport, light absorption, and thermal management, resulting in an ultrahigh evaporation flux. The BCE mimics the mechanisms that enhance performance in the tree, where each cell operates both independently and synergistically. Furthermore, the evaporator maintains exceptional structural integrity and stable operation in extreme environments, including natural seawater, acidic and alkaline solutions, and industrial wastewater. These findings position the BCE as a robust and scalable platform for sustainable water desalination and wastewater treatment technologies, contributing significantly to global water security.

以生物为灵感的以身体为中心的立方蒸发器：利用细胞流体通过PμSL进行超高效的太阳能驱动水蒸发。

我们提出了一种仿生体心立方蒸发器（BCE），它集成了细胞流体，在太阳能驱动界面蒸发（SDIE）中实现了前所未有的超高蒸发通量。BCE平台采用投影微立体光刻技术（PμSL）制备三维细胞结构，并采用金基光热转换涂层进行增强。这种结构和光热转换涂层协同优化了水传输、光吸收和热管理，从而产生超高的蒸发通量。BCE模拟了在树中提高性能的机制，其中每个细胞既独立又协同工作。此外，蒸发器在极端环境（包括天然海水、酸性和碱性溶液以及工业废水）中保持卓越的结构完整性和稳定运行。这些发现将BCE定位为一个强大的、可扩展的可持续海水淡化和废水处理技术平台，为全球水安全做出重大贡献。
