Solar transpiration–powered lithium extraction and storage

In this regard, an interfacial solar-driven evaporator is ideal because it can harness solar energy to accelerate transpiration with a high solar-to-thermal conversion efficiency (>90%) (17–23). Finally, the lithium storage layer must be able to resist cavitation and salt deposits for stable lithium extraction (fig. S1) ( 24 ).
