An overview of solar still enhancement approaches for increased freshwater production rates from a thermal process perspective

L. Mu et al.

Summary: With a growing population, the balance between water demand and traditional freshwater supply has become a critical issue. Solar stills are simple yet effective devices for producing freshwater from alternative water sources, suitable for water-stressed regions with limited access to electricity but abundant solar energy. Research in this field focuses on improving freshwater productivity, and this overview provides a classification of solar stills based on basic thermal processes to guide future researchers in developing solutions to increase production efficiency. This review also covers recent advancements in interfacial-evaporation-based enhancements for solar stills, which were not addressed in existing literature.
