None:
Porous thioctic acid-based hydrogels are prepared and exhibit an evaporation rate of up to 3.72 kg m-2 h-1 because of the photothermal ability provided by reduced polyoxometalates. The dynamic covalent bonds and intermolecular interactions endow hydrogels with self-healing ability to achieve an unchanged evaporation rate over multiple cycles.
