| description | <p dir="ltr">The availability of water and energy is crucial for human survival, yet rising industrialization and population growth have escalated demand, particularly in developing economies. Despite efforts to address water scarcity, contamination persists, leading to widespread diseases. Conventional purification methods like reverse osmosis are effective but expensive and energy-intensive while boiling exacerbates air pollution. In this context, solar still systems present a promising solution, harnessing abundant sunlight to distill seawater into drinkable water. By integrating phase change material (PCM) and sensible heat storage, these systems can enhance efficiency and reduce energy consumption. This article explores the optimization of solar still systems through the selection of suitable PCM and sensible heat storage materials. The primary objectives are to improve distillation efficiency and heat recovery, making the process more eco-friendly and cost-effective. By addressing water scarcity and energy consumption simultaneously, these optimized systems offer a sustainable approach to water production, particularly in regions with ample sunlight. Through a comprehensive review, this research aims to advance the understanding of solar still technology and facilitate its widespread adoption, ultimately contributing to global efforts toward water security and environmental sustainability.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/ijlct/ctae116" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/ijlct/ctae116</a></p> |
