Boosting stepped solar still system efficiency with affordable natural energy absorbers
In this study, we examined a solar still made of galvanized iron that was exposed to a solar simulator with a light intensity of 904 W/m2. We used iron ore, granite, and sponge as photoabsorbers on the surface of the stairs to enhance the interaction between air and water. This increased steam produ...
