Water bridge solar evaporator with salt-resistance and heat localization for efficient desalination

“…Along with continuous evaporation, salt circulation to the water layer is prohibited when saturated brine generated around the evaporating surface, inducing inevitable salt precipitation. 61,62…”

“…Along with continuous evaporation, salt circulation to the water layer is prohibited when saturated brine generated around the evaporating surface, inducing inevitable salt precipitation. 61,62 To avoid salt precipitation in high-salinity brine, heat insulation is compromised in most of the currently reported solar desalination systems, resulting in decreased evaporation rate with the increase in brine salinity. With respect to our system, due to the presence of bridge-shaped water layer, salt resistance and heat localization are achieved simultaneously even for 15 wt% and 20 wt% brine.…”
