Abstract

Solar steaming has emerged as a promising green technology that can address the global issue of scarcity of clean water. However, developing high-performance, cost-effective, and manufacturable solar-steaming materials, and portable solar steaming-collection systems for individuals remains a great challenge. Here, a one-step, low-cost, and mass-producible synthesis of polypyrrole (PPy) origami-based photothermal materials, and an original portable low-pressure controlled solar steaming-collection unisystem, offering synergetic high rates in both water evaporation and steam collection, are reported. Due to enhanced areas for vapor dissipation, the PPy origami improves the water evaporation rate by at least 71% to 2.12 kg m
