CHAPTER 10: Harvesting Solar Energy by 3D Graphene-based Macroarchitectures Check Access

Solar steam generation (SSG) systems, utilizing abundantly available solar energy and self-floating photothermal materials, hold tremendous potential for sterilization of waste and seawater desalination in a sustainable manner. Attributing to their ultralow density, intense porosity, exceptional optical absorption colossal thermal conductivity, extraordinary flexibility, and superior durability, 3D graphene-based macrostructures (GBMs) have recently garnered tremendous scientific attention to generate solar steam with remarkable photothermal conversion efficiency. Therefore, the current chapter has been conceived to provide an overview of the latest development in 3D GBMs-mediated SSG systems.
