Waste sawdust-based composite as an interfacial evaporator for efficient solar steam generation

Abstract

Interfacial evaporation is the technology of localizing heat energy at the air–water interface and is used for getting potable water from salty or seawater effectively.

Combined effect of grooves and nanoflower structured Co3O4 coating on bamboo wood for highly efficient solar steam generation at indoor and outdoor conditions

“…The ISSG process is used for the puri cation of water from polluted water to puri ed water. Also, it gives better dye degradation results from polluted water (Rengasamy and Rajaram 2023).…”

“…It restricts heat losses that occur through conduction, convection and radiation (Mustafa et al 2022). The oating of solar absorber material should have the following characteristics: cost-effective, scalable to manufacture, low thermal conductivity, a wide range of solar light absorption and adequate water penetration through a large number of small-sized porous (Rengasamy and Rajaram 2023). Naturally, many materials are ful lled for the above features such as wood, sawdust, mushrooms, etc (Jia et al 2019).…”
