A Wave‐Driven Piezoelectric Solar Evaporator for Water Purification (Adv. Energy Mater. 21/2022)

Solar Vaporisation In article number 2200087, Jie Yang, Wei Yang and co-workers report a solar evaporation membrane integrated with a piezoelectric ultrathin nanofilm, which can trigger water activation near the electrical field generated through continuously converting the wave energy from the ocean to electrical energy, thus facilitating water evaporation with an additional improvement of over 20% compared to an equivalent non-piezoelectric evaporator.
