Solar power, as one of renewable energy, holds potential application for producing steam which relies on high-temperature liquid by traditional methods. Herein, steam was generated by a bio-inspired strategy derived from the plants transpiration using a Printed Recyclable Carbon Membrane (PRCM). The membrane structure facilitated the concentration of carbon particles for the photoreaction and the heat generation for water evaporation, thereby improving the photo-thermal conversion efficiency. The PRCM achieved the best steady evaporation efficiency of 51.9%, which was 5.6 times higher than the value for water and recycling tests were demonstrated. The carbon particles were separated from the water under the magnetism action, a convenient approach that avoided secondary pollution resulting from the disintegration of the PRCM. Rapid preparation, low cost, and reusability of the printed carbon membrane allow for photo-thermal applications such as solar steam generation and seawater desalination.

生物启发的可再生碳接口，用于太阳能蒸汽的产生

太阳能作为可再生能源之一，在利用传统方法依靠高温液体生产蒸汽方面具有潜在的应用前景。在本文中，蒸汽是通过使用打印可循环碳膜（PRCM）从植物蒸腾作用中获得的生物启发策略产生的。膜结构促进了用于光反应的碳颗粒的浓缩和用于水蒸发的热量的产生，从而提高了光热转换效率。PRCM实现了51.9％的最佳稳定蒸发效率，这是水值的5.6倍，并进行了循环测试。碳颗粒在磁力作用下从水中分离，这是一种便捷的方法，可避免因PRCM分解而造成的二次污染。快速准备
