Research progress of power generation device drivenby water evaporation

Abstract

With the increasing environmental pollution and energy shortage, the development of new green energy technology has become an urgent need for all mankind. Water evaporation induced power generation is a newly discovered way to capture energy from the water evaporation process driven by environmental thermal energy. Due to its endothermic, sustainable and huge potential, it has received extensive attention and rapid development in recent years. This article from the material. The research progress of water evaporation induced power generation devices is systematically summarized from five aspects, including types, device configuration, power generation performance, device application and power generation mechanism. The challenges in improving the physical mechanism and device performance of water evaporation induced power generation devices are analyzed, and the possible development directions in the future are prospected.
