Highly efficient and salt rejecting solar evaporation via a wick-free confined water layer by Zhang, Lenan, Li, Xiangyu, Zhong, Yang, Leroy, Arny, Xu, Zhenyuan, Zhao, Lin, Wang, Evelyn N

“…Here, we demonstrate highly efficient (>80% solar-to-vapor conversion efficiency) and salt rejecting (20 weight % salinity) solar evaporation by engineering the fluidic flow in a wick-free confined water layer. With mechanistic modeling and experimental characterization of salt transport, we show that natural convection can be triggered in the confined water. …”
