SPCS systems have great potential for practical water treatment in the future. Developing high-efficiency solar photothermal conversion and storage (SPCS) technology is significant in solving the imbalance between the supply and demand of solar energy utilization in time and space.
Then, the state-of-the-art progress for photothermal conversions of solar energy is introduced in detail, mainly including photothermal water evaporation and desalination, photothermal catalysis, photothermal electric power generation, photothermal bacterial killing, photothermal sensors, and photothermal deicing.
Photovoltaic and thermal (PVT) energy systems are becoming increasingly popular as they maximise the benefits of solar radiation, which generates electricity and heat at the same time.
3. Research on PCMs for solar photothermal conversion and storage The SPCS is an energy storage unit for solar thermal conversion, and the storage system is mainly composed of PCMs.
Because more than 80% of renewable power energy is converted to heat, that can harm PV cells if not stored in a thermal collector (Diwania et al., 2020). The concept of PVT system is depicted in Fig. 2. The solar PVT system converts solar energy into both electrical and thermal energy.
This dual-function system with both solar photothermal conversion and storage has excellent performance in a variety of application scenarios, such as solar seawater desalination, solar drying system, and solar greenhouse heating, and has become a research hotspot at present.
