Abstract: Solar-driven water evaporation is a new water desalination strategy. As its key components, the photothermal conversion materials (PTCM) show important research significance. Among them, biomass carbon materials have been widely studied because of their wide source, simple preparation and high photothermal conversion efficiency. This review introduces the photothermal conversion mechanism and water evaporation efficiency of various biomass materials in solar-driven water evaporation. Then, the preparation methods, classification of biomass based light evaporator (BLE), and their corresponding advantages in solar-driven water evaporation are also described. Finally, the problems of biomass carbon materials are summarized, as well as the proposed future research directions.
