摘要

With the global population surpassing 8.1 billion people, there is a growing strain on freshwater resources. The world is currently facing the challenge of addressing the escalating demand for fresh water, a fundamental necessity crucial for human survival and various other essential activities. Solar desalination addresses the growing demand for freshwater sustainably. By utilizing solar energy, desalination systems convert seawater into potable water. The study delves into various methods and technologies aimed at optimizing the performance of these systems. Specifically, it explores the incorporation of high-frequency ultrasonic wave atomizers in single-slope solar stills, demonstrating an effective evaporation technique resulting in a significant 56% increase in production. Additionally, the effectiveness of external condensers in enhancing the condensation process is discussed. The integration of solar stills with pin fins absorbers and integrated condensers shows a promising 32% increase in production. This review aims to provide valuable insights into strategies for efficiency and output improvement of solar desalination systems through the synergistic combination of different technologies.
