- IIT-Bombay Scientists developed a new hydrophobic Graphene-based material.
- It can facilitate water desalination and could be a significant breakthrough to address the freshwater crisis in the world.
- While water is abundant on Earth, only about 3% of it is freshwater.
- And even within that, less than 0.05% is easily accessible.
- The Dual-Sided Superhydrophobic Laser-Induced Graphene (DSLIG) evaporator addresses multiple shortcomings of earlier evaporators and has the potential for large-scale applications.
- The solar energy-based desalination methods are considered very desirable due to their reduced carbon footprint.
- However, factors such as fluctuations in intensity and availability of sunlight and reduced rates of absorption of light greatly affect the efficiency and consistency of solar energy-based desalination techniques.
