Sun-powered sponge produces freshwater from seawater in just 6 hours of outdoor light
SMRTR summary
A new aerogel material developed by Hong Kong researchers can desalinate seawater using only sunlight and a plastic cover. The sponge-like material, made from carbon nanotubes and cellulose nanofibers, produced drinkable water in just 6 hours of outdoor testing. This scalable, low-energy approach could help address global water scarcity challenges sustainably.
