Engineered Biomass‐Based Solar Evaporators for Diversified and Sustainable Water Management
Tianjin University of Science and Technology
Abstract
Solar-driven interfacial water evaporation is a green and energy-efficient water treatment technology with diverse applications in desalination, steam power generation, and agricultural irrigation. Biomass materials have gained significant attention in solar evaporator engineering due to their unique structure, low cost, and ease of adjustment. With enhanced light absorption and high thermal conductivity, biomass materials can improve evaporation efficiency substantially, thus providing opportunities in solar evaporation applications. Therefore, in this critical review, the operating principles and design concepts of solar evaporators are first briefly discussed in terms of the photothermal conversion…
