Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201500135-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A bioinspired, reusable, paper‐based gold‐nanoparticle film</bold> is fabricated by depositing an as‐prepared gold‐nanoparticle thin film on airlaid paper. This paper‐based system with enhanced surface roughness and low thermal conductivity exhibits increased efficiency of evaporation, scale‐up potential, and proven reusability. It is also demonstrated to be potentially useful in seawater desalination. <graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgjkz0315h" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></p> </abstract>
