An all-in-one and scalable carbon fibre-based evaporator by using the weaving craft for high-efficiency and stable solar desalination

Abstract

We report a woven carbon fiber-based, salt-resistant evaporator for solar desalination. Cotton yarns in the weft direction avoid carbon fiber separation and in the warp direction supply sufficient liquid for steam generation, with a high performance (1.87 kg m⁻² h⁻¹).
