3D Bioinspired Hair‐Based Solar Evaporator for Efficient Water Harvesting

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 10, 2 February 2026.
A bio‐derived solar evaporator inspired by blackbody radiation is developed using human hair waste. The vertically aligned hair structure enables broadband light absorption, efficient thermal localization, and rapid water transport, achieving high evaporation rates and stable desalination performance.

Nature‐Inspired Sustainable Cooling for Photovoltaics with Enhanced Temperature‐Salinity Dynamics

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 11, 5 February 2026.
Addressing solar panel overheating, a nature‐inspired cooling system mimicking ocean currents is developed. A moisture‐absorbing solution layer uses sunlight, radiative cooling, and moisture processes to create temperature/salinity gradients, accelerating circulation. The prototype cools panels by up to 18.2 °C under sunlight, sustains cooling, rapidly

MXene Membrane as Multifunctional Interface for Vapor Splitting via Photothermal‐Catalytic Membrane Distillation

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 7, 2 February 2026.
A multifunctional MXene‐based membrane integrates photothermal evaporation and photocatalytic vapor splitting in a sweeping‐gas membrane distillation (PTC‐SGMD) platform, simultaneously generating freshwater and hydrogen. The SrTiO3/MX@PVDF interface leverages broad‐spectrum solar absorption, efficient heat/mass transfer, and gas–solid catalysis to ...
