In article number 2000291, Yuen Hong Tsang and co‐workers enhance the hydrophilicity and solar absorbance of the luffa sponge by dopamine treatment and a candle soot surface coating, which leads to a superb solar evaporation rate and can produce 7.5–8 L of freshwater per day. Hence, the proposed system can be utilized in remote areas and refugee camps.
