The necessity of fresh water is growing day by day as the population and industrialization is increasing. As earth contains 71% of salinity water we have to convert that salinity water into fresh drinkable water. The device which converts salty water into drinkable water by using green source of energy that device is known as solar still. But due to its lesser efficiency it cannot be used in industrial purposes. To increase its productivity and efficiency many researcher has done improvement in various stills. Some researchers has used the nanoparticles due to their favourable thermo physical properties and optical characteristics. Nano particles and solid particles having the diameter in the range of 1 - 100 nm, are used from last two decades, and certainly a new approach among others. The ability of attaining the required thermo physical properties of nanoparticles, by the variation in the particle size, shape and concentration, rewarded them as one of focused area of research in the solar still. This paper contains the exhaustive review of literature on the utilization of nanoparticles in active and passive desalination system to investigate the best suitable nanoparticles for solar still. From review it was found that the efficiency and daily productivity of the still was increased by using nanoparticles in it.

“…Modi et al evaluated the influence of Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles at different configurations on distillate production. It was found that the 0.01% concentration of Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles had improved the distillate yield by about 18% which was high compared to other cases 9 . Panchal et al studied the distillate production of solar still using manganese dioxide nanoparticles.…”

The objective of the present study is to evaluate the sustainability of solar still by enhancing the condensation rate using natural fibers on the glass cover. It is accomplished by employing naturally available Banana Fibers (BF) and Jute Fibers (JF) over the glass of the solar still (SS). The experimental investigation on Conventional Solar Still (CSS), Solar Still with Banana Fibers (SSBF) and Solar Still with Jute Fibers (SSJF) is conducted under similar meteorological conditions. The results reported that the glass cover temperatures of SSBF and SSJF are significantly reduced by 23% and 28% respectively relative to CSS. Also, the condensation rate in SSJF is comparatively better than SSBF and CSS. The significant factor for improving the condensation rate is the absorption, retention, and porosity of natural fibers. Nevertheless, the potable water yield of CSS, SSBF, and SSJF is noticed as 2.23, 2.87, and 3.18 L/m2, respectively. Besides, the viability of solar stills is assessed by economic analysis and the cost per liter (CPL) of water obtained from SSJF is about $ 0.029 with a payback period (PBP) of 4.7 months whereas SSBF and CSS are having a CPL of $ 0.034 and $ 0.041 with a PBP of 5.6 months and 6.8 months respectively.

“…Another experiment used Al 2 O 3 nanoparticle of varying concentration in the basin of solar still. They observed that by using nanoparticle, the distilled output is increased by 2.6%,7.2%, 12.3%, and 17.6% for weight concentrations of 0.2%, 0.10%, 0.05%, and 0.01%, respectively, in comparison with solar still without nanoparticles 24 . Single‐basin dual‐slope solar still along with Al 2 O 3 with varying depth of 0.010, 0.020, and 0.030 m was used for experiment.…”

This study investigates the effect of using quantum dots (QDs) on the performance of solar still in the tropical climate of India. This article presents a new way to use QDs, which on absorbing solar energy increases water evaporation rate. Pyrex glass powder QDs are used in the solar still due to its high absorptivity value. An experimental setup of solar still with QD and without QD was developed, and a comparative analysis was conducted under the real outdoor environment in a tropical climate. The experimental results were also validated through mathematical modeling. The experiment was carried out by mixing Pyrex glass powder QDs with black paint and was coated on the basin and sidewalls of the solar still. Experiments were conducted for a depth of 0.02 m for solar still with QDs and without QDs. The results revealed that for 0.02 m of water depth and 1 m 2 of basin area, the percentage increase in distillate output using Pyrex glass powder QDs is 29.36% experimentally and 29.94% theoretically. Furthermore, the net percentage increase in solar still efficiency by using Pyrex glass QDs is 74.74% experimentally and 61.03% theoretically.The study analyzed that all the experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical analysis. The addition of Pyrex glass powder QDs and black paint mixture in the basin of solar still caused significant enhancement in the distillate output and solar still efficiency.
