“…Subsequently, the second stage involves significant degradation (approximately 70% weight loss) occurring between 200 to 375 °C, followed by the third stage involving the decomposition process starting from 350 °C [16,30]. Upon conducting a comparative analysis, it is noteworthy that the MBCs produced in this study demonstrated overall thermal degradation behaviors like those observed in various paper-based products (250 to 350 °C) and synthetic foams (250 to 475 °C) [16,[58][59][60][61]. Additionally, the thermal characteristics of the MBCs align with those of green composite materials known to degrade above 200 °C [62].…”

Mycelium-based bio-composites (MBCs) represent a sustainable and innovative material with high potential for contemporary applications, particularly in the field of modern interior design. This research investigates the fabrication of MBCs for modern interior materials using agro-industrial wastes (bamboo sawdust and corn pericarp) and different fungal species. The study focuses on determining physical properties, including moisture content, shrinkage, density, water absorption, volumetric swelling, thermal degradation, and mechanical properties (bending, compression, impact, and tensile strength). The results indicate variations in moisture content and shrinkage based on fungal species and substrate types, with bamboo sawdust exhibiting lower shrinkage. The obtained density values range from 212.31 to 282.09 kg/m3, comparable to traditional materials, suggesting MBCs potential in diverse fields, especially as modern interior elements. Water absorption and volumetric swelling demonstrate the influence of substrate and fungal species, although they do not significantly impact the characteristics of interior decoration materials. Thermal degradation analysis aligns with established patterns, showcasing the suitability of MBCs for various applications. Scanning electron microscope observations reveal the morphological features of MBCs, emphasizing the role of fungal mycelia in binding substrate particles. Mechanical properties exhibit variations in bending, compression, impact, and tensile strength, with MBCs demonstrating compatibility with traditional materials used in interior elements. Those produced from L. sajor-caju and G. fornicatum show especially promising characteristics in this context. Particularly noteworthy are their superior compression and impact strength, surpassing values observed in certain synthetic foams multiple times. Moreover, this study reveals the biodegradability of MBCs, reaching standards for environmentally friendly materials. A comprehensive comparison with traditional materials further supports the potential of MBCs in sustainable material. Challenges in standardization, production scalability, and market adoption are identified, emphasizing the need for ongoing research, material engineering advancements, and biotechnological innovations. These efforts aim to enhance MBC properties, promoting sustainability in modern interior applications, while also facilitating their expansion into mass production within the innovative construction materials market.

“…Ho and coworkers [ 137 ] annealed melamine polymers at 500, 700, and 900 °C to produce nitrogen‐containing sponge carbon (CS) with opening sizes of 55, 45, and 25 μm; they demonstrated that cost‐effective CS can be triggered by local steam generation far below the boiling point; the evaporation rates of CS55, CS45, and CS25 were 1.12, 1.15, and 1.31 kg m −2 h −1 , respectively, and their corresponding conversion efficiencies were 72.0%, 74.0%, and 85.0% (Figure 8b). Xu and his colleagues [ 138 ] prepared a new type of highly efficient flexible photothermal agargel with good flexibility and stability using commercial defatted cotton, agarose, and CuS nanocages as raw materials for SSG.…”

Solar steam generation (SSG) has emerged as a promising technology to utilize solar energy for desalination. As the key part of the SSG system, photothermal materials (PMs) play a critical role due to their unique solar‐driven interface evaporation pattern. Herein, the research progress of PMs based on natural products and synthetic polymers in recent years is reviewed. The major emphasis lies on the preparation method, the structure, and the solar energy conversion efficiency of such PMs. Further understanding of the structure–performance relationship of these materials may supply useful guidance for design and fabrication of high‐performance PMs, which is of great importance for the promotion of practical application of SSG.

“…The macroporous structures, including staggered channels, multilevel channels, and aligned channels, offer good thermal insulation and light utilization efficiency because of low thermal conductivity and light refraction in cavities. 34 Therefore, some natural and man-made porous materials were developed to prepare the solar evaporator to get fresh water, such as straw, 35 loofah, 36 sugar cane, 37 expanded polyethylene foam, 38 nickel foam, 39 and polymer foam. 40 Based on the considerations above, herein, we report porphyrin-based CMPs as novel light absorbers for solarthermal conversion.…”

Seawater evaporation realized by solar-thermal conversion represents one of the most sustainable and effective strategies to obtain fresh water. Many approaches have been proposed to achieve high efficiencies of solar-thermal conversion, but their practical applications are limited by the low scalability. Herein, novel porphyrin/aniline-based conjugated microporous polymers (PACMPs) are synthesized via a Buchwald–Hartwig coupling reaction, which are then integrated with polyurethane sponges via a simple dip-coating technique. The PACMP-modified sponges (PACSs) retain the high porosity of the sponge substrate and excellent solar-thermal conversion properties of PACMPs. Under standard solar irradiation (1 kW m–2), PACSs achieve a high seawater evaporation rate of 1.31 kg m–2 h–1 with a solar-thermal conversion efficiency of 86.3%. PACSs show no salt accumulation and high performance of desalination and dye decolorization, removing >99.9% salt and >99.2% dye, respectively. The self-floating characteristic, recyclability, and durable solar-thermal evaporation efficiencies enable PACSs to be promising candidate materials for seawater desalination and sewage purification.
