Combined effect of grooves and nanoflower structured CoO coating on bamboo wood for highly efficient solar steam generation at indoor and outdoor conditions.

Currently, interfacial solar steam generation (ISSG) in desalinating water has become very popular for obtaining purified water from polluted water. However, finding an efficient evaporator with low cost is a challenging task for researchers. In this work, we introduce natural bamboo wood (BW) that acts as an interfacial evaporator for obtaining purified water.
