a Schematic illustration of the structures of DSE-II, DSE-III, DSE-IV, and DSE-V. b Comparative analysis of the performance of SE, DSE-I to DSE-V, including the metrics of solar evaporation rate (SER, kg m−2 h−1), dark evaporation rate (DER, kg m−2 h−1), solar energy input to the evaporation surface (SEI, %), internal convection flow rate (ICS, m s−1), evaporation surface area (EA mm2), and scaffold material consumption (SMC, mm3). c Simulated convection in the DSE-II to DSE-V from left to right, respectively.
