Abstract

Researches on enhancing the evaporation performance of solar interfacial evaporators are reviewed with evaporation rate and evaporation efficiency as two evaluation indicators. Six methods, including light absorption enhancement, thermal management, water transport control, evaporation enthalpy reduction, other energy utilization, and salt resistance strategies, are summarized. The principles and main means of each method are outlined. Finally, the current urgent problems that need to be solved in solar interface evaporation technology are given for future research directions.

Key words
