Abstract

Janus-Faced Solar-Thermal Evaporator for Clean-Water Generation The cover image highlights a Janus-faced solar-thermal evaporator designed for efficient seawater distillation. Hard-carbon florets enable strong solar absorption and localized heating at the water-air interface, while the porous polymer scaffold ensures continuous water transport and salt rejection. When integrated as a prototype, the SunSpring delivers energy-efficient evaporation for stable freshwater production, from seawater. More details can be found in the Research Article by Neil R. Cameron, Sandip K. Saha, Subramaniam Chandramouli, and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/advs.202511600).
