“…With the noted advantages in productivity, the authors recommended SSNPCM-2 as the best solar still compared with those using other nanoparticles, as it provides clean water at almost half the cost of bottled water. Thakur et al [35] conducted a performance analysis of passive solar stills with and without nanoparticles. They included CuO among other nanoparticles in basin water and compared the performance of solar stills.…”

All living organisms depend on water for their survival. Therefore, sufficient water availability is necessary for health. During the last few years, considerable progress has been made in the production of clean drinking water—particularly in the desalination industry. Various methods have been explored to boost the productivity of solar stills. The present review focuses on recent enhancement techniques aimed at boosting their performance—particularly those incorporating non-metallic nanofluids into the base fluid. The nanomaterials examined in this review include Al2O3, CuO, ZnO, and TiO2. Several studies adding Al2O3 in a solar-still desalination system resulted in an increase in distillate yield, better efficiency, reduced energy consumption, reduced thermal loss, and better productivity. The incorporation of CuO in a solar-still desalination system led to major improvements in performance. These included enhanced daily efficiency, better productivity, improved production of freshwater, and higher energy and exergy efficiency. The incorporation of TiO2 in a solar-still desalination system resulted in increased productivity, better thermal conductivity, better thermal efficiency, higher daily distillate output, and high levels of water temperature. It was also evident that the incorporation of ZnO in a solar-still desalination system resulted in a substantial increase in the output of clean water and occasioned improvements in productivity and overall efficiency. Together, these findings demonstrate the potential of these nanomaterials to significantly enhance the performance of solar-still desalination systems. Other nanomaterials that are yet to gain increased use, such as SiO2 and SnO2, have also been discussed. The collective results in this paper demonstrate the potential of nanofluids to enhance the performance and effectiveness of solar-still desalination systems. This review provides conclusive evidence of the positive effects of different nanofluids on the yield, productivity, energy, and efficiency of diverse types of solar stills, offering promising advancements in the sustainable production of water.

To achieve thermal energy storage using a heat transfer carrier, a novel prototype of a double effect U-shape stepped solar distiller (DUSD) of ZnO for Jackfruit peel (ZJP) synthesis is presented. Silver colour steel balls (S) with ZJP are the main component of DUSD, which improves the internal heat transmission process. The Laplacian technique is used to solve the system for the temperature components using Thermodynamic Gibb's free energy. Thermodynamic with simulation process of DUSD utilizing MATLAB SIMULINK revealed the energy efficiency and consumption as per ZJPS performance. The inside basin of the DUSD is lined with silver steel balls, spaced 15 cm apart to increase heat energy. ZJP materials with 6.37 L/m2 yields have been examined as XRD, surface morphology, and DUSD significances from 9.00 am to 5:00 pm. ZJPS achieve of DUSD uses a basin area with a daily reduction of roughly 7.648 L/m2. The design's best energy efficiency, 53.46%, is presented by the thermodynamic Gibb's free energy with the ZJPS Laplacian. This study has significant benefits in thermodynamics Gibb's free energy Laplacian with environmental effect potential and problems compared to existing green synthesis approaches. This study provides theoretical guidance for the conversion of thermal energy cleansing and demonstrates the viability of DUSD of ZJP synthesis.
