6 FAQs about [Solar evaporation energy storage]

What is solar evaporation efficiency?

It was soon realized that the ideal approach from the perspective of solar evaporation efficiency is floating a solar evaporator/absorber (hereafter these terms are used interchangeably) at the top surface of the water to capture solar energy and localize this energy to evaporate water molecules.

What is interfacial solar evaporation?

Interfacial solar evaporation technology is becoming versatile for addressing a range of global challenges, and is expected to play a more vital role in addressing water scarcity and energy shortages in the next decade. The recently developed interfacial solar evaporation (ISE) has brought traditional solar evaporation technologies into a new era.

How does solar evaporation work?

Solar energy is absorbed and converted into localized heat at the evaporation interface by a solar absorber/evaporator (the terms are interchangeable). The bulk water is continuously transported to the evaporation surface through porous channels via the capillary effect.

What is solar-driven interfacial evaporation?

Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative Solar-driven interfacial evaporation technologies use solar energy to heat materials that drive water evaporation. These technologies are versatile and do not require electricity, which enables their potential application across the food, energy and water nexus.

How can interfacial solar evaporation technology improve water quality?

Fig. 1: Food, energy and water from interfacial solar evaporation technologies. Solar-driven interfacial evaporation technologies can use solar energy to treat wastewater and produce clean water, food, energy, minerals and chemical resources.

How can solar evaporation help a low-resource environment?

In the future, solar evaporation technologies could aid in food, energy and water provision in low-resource or rural settings that lack reliable access to these essentials, but the systems must first undergo rigorous, scaled-up field testing to understand their performance, stability and competitiveness.
