“…They found that the module was the main contributor to the exergy destruction, with the glass cover having the least effect. Esfe et al [ 219 ] performed simulations to demonstrate that thermoelectric cooling uplifts WP by 7% in comparison with without cooling. Nazari et al [ 220 ] experimented using solar still with an external thermoelectric condensation channel and found that the placement of four cooling modules around the channel walls increased still productivity by about 39%.…”

Solar energy is one of the most efficient origins of energy for a wide range of environmentally beneficial purposes. Water desalination by steam generation with the help of solar energy is not only an economical and straightforward approach, but it also utilizes free energy sources to solve the problem of increasing freshwater scarcity. Solar water evaporation is an essential component of the low‐energy method for generating fresh water, which is required for economic development and human health. Freshwater productivity determines how effectively the system captures incoming solar energy and transforms it into usable heat. Effective water distillation has recently gained a lot of attention. The photothermal conversion process is built on the performance of the evaporator. This review thoroughly examines the most recent developments in photothermal materials, structure design, and engineering strategies, including design principles for highly efficient photothermal conversion, thermal management, water transport phenomena, salt rejection behavior, and improved evaporation rate. The prospective applications of this technique in saline water desalination, waste water purification, and energy generation are highlighted. Furthermore, the most recent scientific advancements are utilized to demonstrate the potential, prospects, and challenges of solar‐driven evaporation in energy conversion.

“…Esfe et al 21 added a fan with a heat sink in a conventional solar still with a length of 0.438 m, a large height of 0.187 m, and a small height of 0.075 m. The mounting angle of the glass was taken as 30°. The left‐ and right‐side walls were taken as adiabatic and zero flux condition was considered.…”

Solar stills can be an easy and environmentally viable solution in today's world, where a lack of fresh water sources is a major challenge. Solar stills, on the other hand, aren't economically viable due to their poor efficiency. It has been the subject of several studies to improve its efficiency and output. The goal of this review article is to understand and summarize recent studies conducted to improve the efficiency and commercial viability of solar stills. It focuses on using experimental and numerical techniques to manipulate different parameters that affect freshwater production in stills in order to arrive at a suitable condition where the efficiency and productivity of the solar still are maximized. Effects of modifications such as addition of baffles, fans, fins, phase change material (PCM), etc., and its consequent influence on freshwater production rate are presented in this article. Fins, for example, improved the efficiency of solar still by about 40% and productivity by about 16%. PCMs too increased the productivity rate by around 50%–90% depending on the type of PCM used. Baffles were found to be more effective when they were mounted closer to the front wall of the solar still. The findings and conclusions of all the studies are summarized. This review article aims to provide an overview of solar stills and the various modifications that may be done to improve their overall efficiency.

“…The merits of thermoelectric (TE) are that it does not have any moving parts, compact, eco-friendly, has no chemical reaction, wide operating temperature range, maintenance-free, and has a long life span [7]. Various studies have also been performed to improve the heat transfer in heat exchangers [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

Conventional refrigeration processes release ammonia and freon into the atmosphere, which results in global warming. These problems may be overcome by using thermoelectric modules because of the absence of coolants or refrigerants in these systems. However, the cooling performances of such modules are relatively small in comparison to those of conventional refrigerators. In this paper, the working principles of thermoelectric modules are discussed together with a review of different relevant aspects, namely: the thermoelectric materials, and their mechanical properties used to build thermoelectric devices, different types of thermoelectric devices available on the market, mathematical modeling of thermoelectric materials, and various applications of thermoelectric materials in different fields.
