Herein, a sustainable bacterial nanocellulose (BNC)-based self-floating bilayer photothermal foam (PTF&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;outline: none; font-size: 12.75px; line-height: 0; position: relative; bottom: -0.25em; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; background-color: rgb(244, 244, 244);&quot;&gt;b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; background-color: rgb(244, 244, 244);&quot;&gt;) is designed that eases the effective confinement of solar light for efficient freshwater production via interfacial heating. The sandwich nanoarchitectured porous bilayer solar evaporator consists of a top solar-harvesting blackbody layer composed of broad-spectrum active black titania (BT) nanoparticles embedded in the BNC matrix and a thick bottom layer of pristine BNC for agile thermal management, the efficient wicking of bulk water, and staying afloat. A decisive advantage of the BNC network is that it enables the fabrication of a lightweight photothermal foam with reduced thermal conductivity and high wet strength. Additionally, the hydrophilic three-dimensional (3D) interconnected porous network of BNC contributes to the fast evaporation of water under ambient solar conditions with reduced vaporization enthalpy by virtue of intermediated water generated via a BNC–water interaction.
