Keeping in mind the growing concern of sustainability, the present study aims to develop a hands-on technique for potable water production by using a portable single-basin solar still, which is constructed with low-cost, locally available and lightweight materials. The performance of single-basin solar still were investigated using different essential operational variables, which include weather condition, water salinity, brine water depth, and addition of glass marbles as energy absorbing material. Ambient weather conditions were found to have direct effect on the productivity of the still. The solar still productivity increased by 29% when a layer of glass marbles was used. The study also showed that the daily water production increased with the decrease in the initial depth of brine water. Estimating a useful life of 4 years of the solar still, an average cost of produced potable water was defined to be BDT 0.35 per lit. In addition, some important water quality parameters were tested and compared with drinking water standard values. The obtained values were found to be in line with the drinking water standards of WHO.

Solar steam generation technology can utilize abundant and renewable solar energy for many applications. In this work, we proposed a solar steam generator using wick material with wrapped graphene nanoparticles, and the energy efficiency can reaches up to 80%. Instead of traditional smearing method, the chemical wrapping method was used to better adhere the graphene nanoparticles on the wick materials.Through the SEM morphological results, the graphene nanoparticles are shown to be evenly wrapped across the fibres of the wick material, which have better dispersity and stability. The evaporation rate, instantaneous energy efficiency and the absorptivity of three wick materials with/without nanoparticles under different conditions were compared and analyzed. Among the three different wick materials, the flannel cloth with dense fine hairs can provide three-dimensional contact area for wrapping graphene nanoparticles and thus contribute to better evaporation.Additionally, the influence of two different reduction methods and different concentrations of graphene oxide solution on the energy efficiency was also discussed.Our work offers a simple and effective way of using nanotechnology in practical application for solar steam generation.
