Highly efficient self-floating jellyfish-like solar steam generators based on the partially carbonized Enteromorpha aerogel

Chenjie Wang et al.

Summary: This study develops an efficient and self-floating jellyfish-like solar steam generation device using partially carbonized Enteromorpha aerogel. The carbonized surface exhibits high solar absorption and excellent photothermal effect, while the uncarbonized Enteromorpha retains its hydrophilicity and high-water transport capability. By optimizing the carbonization time and height of the device, a high evaporation rate is achieved, surpassing most SSG based on carbonized biomass. This development not only reduces the cost of solar steam generation but also addresses the issue of Enteromorpha pollution.

Distinct stage-wise environmental energy harvesting behaviors within solar-driven interfacial water evaporation coupled with convective airflow

Chenlin Zhang et al.

Summary: Coupling solar-driven interfacial water evaporation with convective airflow (SIWEC) improves water evaporation performance by enhancing environmental energy harvesting. However, the accurate understanding of such energy harvesting behaviors in SIWEC is lacking, leading to inconsistent results in the literature. In this study, a general experimental and computational framework is presented, revealing three distinct stages of environmental energy harvesting in SIWEC and indicating a moderate maximum amount of harvestable energy. The results highlight the critical size-performance relationship of SIWEC, reconcile conflicting performances in the literature, and provide insights for practical applications of similar systems.
