Solar-Driven Interfacial Evaporation: Material Types, Structural Strategies, and Emerging Applications.

Solar-driven interfacial evaporation (SDIE) is an emerging eco-friendly and low-carbon technology and has been widely studied in the field of photothermal applications in recent years. With the attention and development of SDIE in innovation fields, new strategies, structures, and typical materials are gradually being developed and applied. Therefore, it is important to report on these latest developments.

Preparation of Permeable Porous Alumina Ceramics by Gel Casting Combined with Particle Stacking and Sintering Method.

Porous ceramics have been widely used in various fields. In this paper, porous ceramics with through-hole structures were prepared using a novel and eco-friendly gel casting method with carrageenan as the gelling agent. Especially, the idea of large size particle stacking is introduced into the gel casting process.
