This study investigates the photothermal water evaporation efficiency of Janus-structured sponges prepared from Cu nanoparticles-decorated graphitic carbon nitride/polydimethylsiloxane nanocomposites (CuCN/PDMS) and melamine foam (MF). Photothermal performance evaluation under 1 sun irradiation reve...
