Description
Daiyi Wang and co-authors hang a dark fabric in the sun to turn water into vapor for desalination, in a study from 2023. Solar evaporation can give fresh water in a clean, low-cost way. The twin needs are a surface that soaks up broad light, and a setup that wastes little heat.
Their fabric mixes polyaniline with carbon nanotubes on cotton. The cloth hangs, so both faces can evaporate, while tiny pores in the cotton pull water up. Heat loss shrinks since the wet area stays small. Under one sun of light, the device made vapor at 2.81 kilograms per square meter per hour. Its light-to-vapor efficiency reached 91.74 percent.
