“…[5] Various desalination strategies have been offered to alleviate the freshwater shortage issue, i.e., reverse osmosis (RO) [6,7] and thermally driven multi-stage flash distillation (MSF), [8] however, these technologies cannot realize long-term solutions for remote and off-grid regions at the expense of aggravating energy problems, complex infrastructure, and global warming. [9,10] Therefore, appreciable efforts have been invested in green technology research for a freshwater generation. Solar energy is a universal and indefinite energy source that provides a potential alternative to sustainable energy technology with minimum environmental impact.…”

The development of a multi‐functional solar‐driven interfacial evaporation (SDIE) system remains a significant challenge for its large‐scale applications. By taking advantage of high surface area, excellent young's moduli, anchoring/coupling capability, large absorption surface, strong absorption in the broadband solar spectrum, and efficient photothermal conversion efficiencies of 2D emerging materials (Xenes, Mxenes, etc.), hybrid SDIEs are developed to increase the use of solar energy beyond water production. This work aims to offer a systematic review of the recent advancement in 2D emerging materials except for graphene and their significant role in hybrid SDIEs to stimulate both fundamental and applied research on utilizing the underutilized auxiliary energy sources for future integrated water, energy, and environmental systems. For this purpose, first, the most recent progress in 2D photothermal materials is discussed, mainly including emerging Xenes, MXenes, and TMDs‐inspired hybrid SDIEs. Second, structural optimization strategies and modulation of the intrinsic photothermal performances of 2D emerging materials are highlighted. Third, the cutting‐edge conceptual designs developed in many hybrid applications such as thermoelectricity, salt recovery, and hydrogen production are broadly presented. Lastly, the current challenges and perspectives of 2D emerging materials and their hybrid evaporation structures are also mentioned.

“…The power associated with these waves is also more dense per unit volume and can, therefore, be extracted with a smaller volume device compared to wind or solar. There is also opportunity for technological integration between wave and wind energy [2]. Current wave energy converters (WECs) fall under four main categories: 1) oscillating water column (OWC); 2) attenuator; 3) overtopping; and 4) point absorber [3]- [6].…”

Nowadays, clean renewable energy extraction solutions are becoming a crucial practice in society. Many different sources are being developed including ocean energy and in specific, ocean waves. In deep water conditions, ocean waves can become very power dense, continuous, and forecastable. Wave height, velocity, and frequency are all variable wave characteristics making it challenging to capture wave power economically. The RTI F2 is a promising wave energy conversion device that is currently under research. Its method of power capture is a buoyant vessel oriented normal to oncoming waves. This paper discusses known control methods implemented on the RTI F2, the experimental setup used for control of the device, and wave tank testing done at the University of New Hampshire's Chase Laboratory. Experimental data was obtained across various wave conditions, plate angles, vessel weights, and control strategies. The results of these tests are presented in the subject matter.

A common platform of wind and wave energy conversion should reduce upfront as well as maintenance costs relative to wave and offshore wind energy converters installed separately. For this cost reduction to happen, temporally integrated resource estimate of wind and wave at a given coordinate is desirable so that areas of high wind and wave energy convergences can be identified. In this paper, a combined energy resource potential of wave and wind modeling procedure is shown using the California coast as a case study, mapped for three distinct years: a “calm” year, an El Nino year, and a recent “normal” year allowing model analyses of a range of possible weather conditions and sea states along the coastline.
