Enhancing solar still productivity with organic phase change materials : A literature review

Solar still systems often include organic phase change materials (PCMs) because of their remarkable thermophysical characteristics. Numerous innovative PCMs have been developed and subsequently incorporated into solar still applications, resulting in improved distillate yields in these systems. This...

On the other hand, the passive solar still saw an increase in distillate production of 124.74% when using soy wax and 109.3% when using beeswax. The selection of PCM necessitates meticulous evaluation, considering aspects like cost, compatibility with the container, and its environmental implications, all of which have been comprehensively examined.
