Solar water evaporation plays an important role in the production of low-energy freshwater, which is essential for economic development and human health. The use of solar powered green water evaporation technology has attracted more and more attention as a sustainable solution to water shortage and environmental governance. Among photothermal materials, wood-based photothermal evaporators have attracted researchers' interest because of their abundance, low cost, biodegradability, low thermal conductivity, hydrophilicity and natural capillary mechanism. In this review, we first summarized the a...
