Solar interfacial evaporation is an emerging technology in solar energy harvesting developed to remedy the global crisis and lack of freshwater resources. However, developing fully enhanced thermal management optimize solar-heat utilization efficiency form remains a great challenge. We created synergistic photothermal layer from poly(N-phenylglycine) (PNPG)/MoS2 nanohybrid via electrostatic-induced self-assembly for broad-spectrum efficient absorption. The PNPG/MoS2 system provided effective conversion good water transmission, enabling rapid steam escape. Notably, coupling evaporation-thermoelectric (TE) power generation was also achieved, providing more exploitation heat. demonstrated rate up 1.70 kg m-2 h-1 achieved maximum thermoelectric output with 0.23 W under one sun. high-performance this study offers potential opportunities purification meet needs resource-scarce areas.
