Bio-inspired solar evaporators for stable and efficient desalination of high-salinity brine with zero liquid discharge

Caption

The bio-inspired solar evaporator, with an external photothermal layer and an internal water supply channel, enhances brine transport to form a porous salt shell that facilitates vapor release and brine transport. This design breaks the trade-off between stable evaporation and salt accumulation.
