Abstract: In response to the critical shortage of freshwater resources, clean and efficient solar-driven interface evaporation technology has shown pro-mising prospects in seawater desalination. Therefore, the preparation of high quality photothermal materials is particularly important for the sustainable utilization of resources. Electrospinning, a technique for fabricating nanofibrous photothermal materials with high porosity, large surface area, and tunable spatial structures, enhances the stability and scalability of photothermal nanofiber membranes during solar-driven interfacial evaporation. This paper delves into the fundamentals of electrospinning and photothermal conversion theory, analyzing preparation strategies and spatial structure classifications of electrospun photothermal materials. Additionally, it focuses on freshwater collection devices, summarizing various designs to broaden practical applications. While acknowledging limitations, this paper forecasts the future development of electrospinning in solar-driven seawater desalination and provides strategic recommendations for research advancements.
