Their system produced steam with an efficiency of 90.88% and a WER of 1.386 kg·m –2 ·h –1 under one sun. Other forms of biomass such as green-tide waste, (31) carbonized loofah, (22) and green algae (32) have also been employed as the photothermal materials for this technology.
If a photon with a high enough energy is absorbed by the material, it can kick an electron across the bandgap, where the electron can then conduct, and thereby generate electricity — doing so without moving rotors or blades.
WER and energy conversion efficiency for the various SSGSs are shown in Figure 6. The results indicate that all studied SSGSs possess a WER higher than that of the uncovered water, showing the superiority of these systems in the ability to produce steam and freshwater using solar energy.
