E2.18 Finnerty & Conway ReNUWIt 2019 Annual Meeting Poster
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
The field of interfacial solar vapor generation (ISVG) has exploded over the past couple of years. However, the field has appeared to have stalled over finding new materials that are capable of ISVG, preventing the transition from material science to technology development in this field. This has left practical questions like: (1) What should be done about scaling? (2) Are ISVG materials reaching their performance limit? and (3) How should this technology be designed? unanswered.
To address some of these questions, we have recently developed a 3D ISVG material that is capable of enhanced heat localization, improved light utilization, and ambient heat uptake. These same 3D ISVG materials have also shown constant evaporation performance, despite significant scale buildup, and an enhanced response to convective wind speed when compared to 2D ISVG materials.
