Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Recently, solar steam generation (SSG) has been a subject of focus that is triggered by global concern on clean water supply, providing that a sustainable stand-alone water desalination and purification technologies which is capable in producing clean water through solar energy conversion. In conjunction with this, lately, biomass-derived carbonaceous materials have attracted significant attention for their sustainable use of natural resources. However, the carbonization process can significantly alter the hydrophilic properties of natural biomass. Herein, a novel approach that utilizes the integration of zinc oxide (ZnO) on carbonized oil palm fiber (ZnO-CF) was developed in this study to investigate their combined synergistic effect. Through a cost-effective hydrothermal route, a composite photothermal material with efficient light absorption and water transport properties was successfully synthesized. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of ZnO with CF, the evaporation rate and efficiency of ZnO-CF were reported to be 1.647 kg m-2 h-1 and 97.33 %, respectively under 1 sun illumination. Additionally, ZnO-CF demonstrated excellent desalination properties in treating lake water and seawater, with the additional feature of merit in sustaining self-cleaning ability for crystalline salt due to its surface wettability in the absence of light. These versatile properties make ZnO-CF a promising solution for biomass waste upcycling from the oil palm industry, thus contributing to sustainable water desalination technologies.
