Schematic of Continuous Solar Brine Desalination. This schematic illustrates the working principle of the phase-change photothermal foam during hypersaline brine desalination. Under illumination, the foam absorbs solar energy and converts it into heat to drive interfacial water evaporation, while part of the heat is stored within the phase-change component. When light is removed, the stored energy is released to sustain evaporation, enabling continuous freshwater production under fluctuating solar conditions.
