Delivering sufficient water to the evaporation surface/interface is one of most widely adopted strategies overcome salt accumulation in solar-driven interfacial desalination. However, transport and heat conduction loss are positively correlated, resulting trade-off between thermal localization resistance. Herein, a 3D hydrogel evaporator with vertical radiant vessels prepared surmount long-standing trade-off, thereby achieving high-rate stable solar desalination high-salinity. Experiments...

Coping with the shortage of fresh water and electricity in off-grid resource-constrained areas through sustainable strategies has become most urgent challenge facing development human society. Herein, we propose a low-cost way repurposing discarded pomelo peel by converting it into 3D porous carbon foam (i.e., carbonized peel, referred to as CPP) multichannel waterways for synergetic coupling solar-driven interfacial evaporation (SDIE) low-grade heat-to-electricity generation. The...

The synthesis of heteronuclear vinylidene analogues containing heavier group 14 elements (R2C═E:, E = Si, Ge, Sn) has been a challenging task due to their inherent instability. In this study, we report the dicationic 1-germavinylidene (3Ge) and 1-stannavinylidene (3Sn) by using sym-bis(2-pyridyl)-tetraphenylcarbodiphosphorane (CDPPy2) as donor ligand. Both 3Ge 3Sn have characterized single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, NMR spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry. structural...
