A robust double-network polymer evaporator for enhanced solar-driven water purification
sp<sup>2</sup>-Carbon-conjugated porous polymers (sp<sup>2</sup>C-CPPs) are promising photothermal materials but suffer from poor processability. We present a double-network cross-linked polymer foam (DN-CPF) that integrates sp<sup>2</sup>C-CPPs with flexible polymer chains, achieving 92.6% photothermal efficiency and a water evaporation rate of 1.53 kg m<sup>-2</sup> h<sup>-1</sup> under one sun, demonstrating excellent stability, salt resistance, and potential for efficient solar-driven desalination.
