The main applications of solar-thermal conversion technology in wastewater purification, seawater desalination, sterilisation and power generation were discussed. This work also summarised the two collection methods of fresh water after SCSG steam production and highlighted their advantages and disadvantages.
To date, solar-thermal conversion and steam generation (SCSG) is the most direct utilisation method, and this has been widely used in fields such as photo-thermal power generation , photo-thermal energy storage , seawater desalination and sewage treatment .
Photo-thermoelectric power generation technology can be widely applied in wearable electronics and micro-electronic chips due to low voltage and small electricity outputs. Ho's group reported a flexible and thermal insulative organic light absorber sponge for electric power and water vapor cogeneration.
To conclude, photo-thermoelectric power is a promising solar energy conversion technology, but many efforts should be made to improve the solar-to-electricity efficiency, because the efficiency remains still very low based on photo-thermoelectric conversion under AM 1.5 G illumination. [34, 90, 91]
Among all the solar energy conversion technologies, photothermal conversion of solar energy exhibits unique advantages when applied for water purification, desalination, high-temperature heterogeneous catalysis, anti-bacterial treatments, and deicing.
