A practical study of a single-slope solar still with a new design: a comparative study.

Renewable Energy and Sustainable Development
In this article, an attempt was made to design and manufacture a newly developed single-slope, single-basin solar still with a semicircular design. The proposed semicircular solar still (SSS) was tested alongside a conventional solar still (CSS) made ...

Engineering Local Polar Frustration in Lead‐Free Dielectric Ceramics for Ultrahigh Normalized Energy Storage Performance

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Local polar frustration is engineered to stabilize an ergodic relaxer through nanoscale multiphase coexistence, suppressing long‐range ferroelectric order while preserving high polarization. This strategy delivers ultrahigh low‐field normalized energy density (Wa >0.020 mC cm−2), exceptional thermal stability, and a transferable design principle for ...

A case study on distillate output of solar still using toner waste powder coated absorber plate

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering
Potable water is limited on the earth today, and its use is increasing day by day due to the industrial revolution and population. Solar still is a simple device used to convert saline/brackish water into potable water by application of solar energy. The

Photo‐Switchable Molecular Module Programming PET Biodegradation in Aquatic Environments

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We address the plastic durability paradox by integrating an itaconic acid–derived pyrrolidone module into polymer backbones. Sunlight in water triggers Norrish Type I ring‐opening and hydrophilization, enabling rapid biodegradation into nontoxic minerals.
