Abstract It's a promising way to address the global freshwater crisis and energy shortage through solar‐driven devices with evaporate, degrade, generate electricity at same time. Low‐efficient light‐thermal conversions for multi‐usage limit application. This paper presents low‐cost melamine foam/TiO 2 /carbon black/bismuth (MF/TiO /CB/Bi) composite excellent activity simultaneously process photothermal water evaporation, pollutant degradation, thermoelectric output, namely‚ shooting three birds one stone. Under 1 sunlight light intensity, evaporation rate reach 4.235 kg m −2 h −1 , maximum electric power output of single module is 0.733 W . Meanwhile, Rhodamine B (RhB) solution 4.0 × 10 −4 mol L can be almost degraded within 60 min. Excellent performance benefits from enhanced adsorption by chemicals, 3D structure accepting more incident light, hydrophilic group reducing enthalpy. Combined simulation experiment, relationship between heat distribution thicknesses studied. When less than 1.98 cm, lateral temperature higher ambient temperature, thus additional cannot obtained. work provides facile novel method construction conversion materials multi‐functional, as new useful attempt solve fresh energy, well environmental pollution.

Solar-driven interfacial evaporation technologies for food, energy and water

Опубликована: Янв. 15, 2025

Solar-driven interfacial evaporation technologies use solar energy to heat materials that drive water evaporation. These are versatile and do not require electricity, which enables their potential application across the food, nexus. In this Review, we assess of solar-driven in clean-water production, wastewater treatment, resource recovery. Interfacial can produce up 5.3 l m–2 h−1 drinking using sunlight as source. Systems designed for food production coastal regions desalinate irrigate crops or wash contaminated soils. Technologies being developed simultaneously both clean through have reached 204 W electricity 2.5 h–1 separate systems. Other approaches combinations could potentially full spectrum generate multiple products (such water, heating cooling, and/or fuels). future, aid provision low-resource rural settings lack reliable access these essentials, but systems must first undergo rigorous, scaled-up field testing understand performance, stability competitiveness. This Review discusses manage wastewater, recover resources energy.

Advancements in Integrated Thermoelectric Power Generation and Water Desalination Technologies: A Comprehensive Review

Energies, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 18(6), С. 1454 - 1454

Опубликована: Март 16, 2025

This paper reviews recent advancements in integrated thermoelectric power generation and water desalination technologies, driven by the increasing global demand for electricity freshwater. The growing population reliance on fossil fuels pose challenges related to environmental pollution resource depletion, necessitating exploration of alternative energy sources techniques. While generators are capable converting low-temperature thermal into processes that can utilize energy, their effective integration remains largely unexplored. Currently available hybrid systems, such as those combining conventional heat engine cycles (e.g., Rankine Kalina cycles) with reverse osmosis, multi-effect distillation, humidification–dehumidification, limited effectively utilizing low-grade simultaneous desalination, while solid-state heat-to-work conversion technology, generators, have low efficiency. identifies a key research gap despite complementary characteristics. study highlights potential which leverage desalination. review also explores emerging material innovations high figure merit materials advanced MD membranes, could significantly enhance system performance. Furthermore, power–desalination systems incorporating concentrated photovoltaic cells, solar collectors, geothermal organic (ORCs) examined highlight sustainable production. findings underscore importance optimizing properties, configurations, operating conditions maximize efficiency output reducing economic costs.
