In article number 2007648, Ling Li, Meng Li, and co‐workers develop a novel low‐cost solar evaporation system based on a common bio‐waste, pomelo peels, through a bioinspired fractal structural design strategy. The system shows a marvelous evaporation rate with excellent solar–thermal efficiency. Furthermore, the mechanisms of the evaporation enhancement by fractal structural design are identified via numerical and experimental methods.
