Minireview on Solar Desalination and Hydropower Generation by Water Evaporation: Recent Challenges and Perspectives in Materials Science

Abstract: Environmental energy harvesting holds great promise for sustainable development of society. Today, there are many kinds of available energy sources, such as hydropower, nuclear energy, thermal power, etc., but all of these suffer from requiring massive infrastructure investment, producing environmental pollution, and/or having the potential to experience catastrophic failure. In this review, we introduce novel methodology for harvesting energy, using evaporation of water from three-dimensional porous media, lo… Show more

“…As a result, electrical current can flow from the wet side to dry side without being subject to specific conditions or environmental influences. Despite the technology being in the early stages of development, evaporation-driven electricity generation has been highlighted for its potential applications in sensors [25], small devices [14,26,27], and desalination [28].…”

“…For the light weight, high thermal shock resistance, good flexibility, and low thermal conductivity, one‐dimensional ceramic fibers, 1–3 especially ultra‐fine ceramic fibers, have attracted great attention in thermal insulating, 4,5 air filtration, 6 water purification, 7,8 and so on. Among the various widely studied high‐melting oxide ceramic fibers, zirconia (ZrO 2 ) fibers have been a hot topic for the much higher melting point and much lower thermal conductivity theoretically in thermal insulating area, especially for applications in high temperature protection and low temperature incubation 9–11 .…”
