Challenges and Opportunities for Solar Evaporation
Open accessAbstract
Solar evaporation is an ancient technology that has regained tremendous attention because of the abundance of solar energy, widely available water sources, and facile facilities in combination with substantial improvements of conversion efficiency enabled by improved photothermal materials, thermal management, and interfacial heating system designs in recent years. In this review, we discuss recent developments in photothermal materials, with a focus on their photothermal conversion mechanisms as light absorbers. We also explore the diverse structural design and engineering strategies that are being used to improve evaporation performance, including the design principles for high-efficiency light-to-heat conversion, optimization of thermal management, water transport, interface wettability, and anti-salt-blocking structures. We describe the potential applications of this attractive technology in a variety of energy and environmental fields. The current challenges and future research opportunities are also discussed, providing a roadmap for the future development of solar evaporation technology.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
