a Comparison of solar evaporation rates between DSE-V and recently reported evaporators. b Mass change and evaporation rates of DSE-V during 8 h of solar evaporation tests. c Photograph of the water collection device (diameter: 20 cm, length: 20 cm) for outdoor solar evaporation of seawater. d Six DSE-V were placed in the device. e Condensed water on the inner wall of the device. f Light intensity, environmental temperature, and humidity during the outdoor tests. g Major ion concentrations of the original seawater and condensed water.
