Low cost, robust, environmentally friendly, wood supported 3D-hierarchical Cu3SnS4 for efficient solar powered steam generation

Solar steam generation has great potential in alleviating freshwater crises, particularly in regions with accessible seawater and abundant insolation. Inexpensive, efficient, and eco-friendly photothermal materials are desired to fabricate sunlight-driven evaporation devices. Here, we have designed...
