Abstract Solar-driven interfacial evaporation has emerged as a promising and sustainable water treatment technology, utilizing solar energy to generate fresh water from seawater or contaminated water sources. The overall evaporation efficiency is highly dependent on the structural design and properties of the evaporator’s substrate material. Among various candidates, hydrogels have gained significant attention as versatile substrates for interfacial solar evaporators, owing to their porous architecture, excellent hydrophilicity, and customizable functionalities. This review summarizes recent advances in hydrogel-based interfacial solar evaporation materials, with a focus on thermal management and water transport regulation strategies to enhance evaporation performance. Furthermore, it highlights diverse applications of hydrogel-based solar evaporators in areas including seawater desalination, wastewater purification, resource recovery, power generation, atmospheric water harvesting, and agricultural irrigation. Finally, the current challenges and future prospects for the development of hydrogel-based interfacial solar evaporation materials are discussed.

Key words： hydrogel solar-driven interfacial evaporation thermal management water transportation seawater desalination
