High-Performance Solar Steam Generator Using Low-Cost Biomass Waste Photothermal Material and Engineering of the Structure.

ABSTRACT: In this work, high-performance, low-cost, environmentally friendly multilayered solar steam generation systems are fabricated by engineering the structure and using a biomass photothermal material. Remarkably, the biomass photothermal material is extracted from the pyrolysis waste of linseed (flax) grains. The introduced system desalinates water using solar energy as the renewable source of energy, and its light absorber is from the waste of a renewable source. The biomass waste powder possesses a mesoporous structure, providing high light absorption through photon scattering and its high surface area. Moreover, to harvest the incident light efficiently and manage the thermal energy generated, devices including light absorbers with cone and cubic configurations and different water manager
