Solar-driven interface steam generator (SISG) is a most promising technologyfor seawater desalination and wastewater purification. A shape- andsize-controlled, low-cost, eco-friendly solar-absorber material is urgentlydesired for practical application of SISG. Herein, we proposed a facile,sustainable and scalable approach to produce tailored SISG with controlledmacromorphology derived from flour via "dough figurine" technology which isoriginated from the China Han Dynasty. Three kinds of self-floated flour-basedabsorbers i.e. near-cylindrical (integrated), near-spherical (loose packing)and powdery (dense packing) absorber used as SISGs were discussed, we foundthat the macromorphology significantly influences water transport andinterfacial thermal management of SISG, the integrated absorber has anoverwhelming advantage, which possesses a high evaporation efficiency 71.9% atnormal solar illumination. The proposed "dough figurine" technology breaks thelimitations of the inherent geometry of reported biomass based SISG, whichprovides an important guidance for SISG use in remote and impoverished areas.
