Abstract

Solar Thermoelectric Generation In article number e71027, Chuanling Si, Chaoji Chen, Lin Dai, and co-workers report a sustainable gradient nanostructured coating based on lignin and liquid metal. This scalable photothermal coating achieves high broadband solar absorption for highly efficient flat-panel solar thermoelectric generation. The strategy transforms industrial lignin into high-performance energy materials, enabling carbon-negative electricity production.
