This review focuses on enhancing the performance of hemispherical solar stills through geometric modifications of the absorber basin. While hemispherical solar stills already benefit from omnidirectional solar capture and efficient condensation due to their dome shape, productivity remains limited by basin-level thermal inefficiencies. To address this, the review categorizes recent innovations into four groups: corrugated basin liners, convex geometries, finned basins, and other unconventional basin shapes. Corrugated designs, especially when combined with reversed solar collectors and wick materials, demonstrated productivity improvements exceeding 90 % and thermal efficiencies over 75 %. Convex configurations—such as stepped convex and hemispherical liners—achieved gains up to 183 % when paired with phase change materials and wicks. Finned basins, optimized for spacing, orientation, and material (notably copper), enhanced heat transfer and evaporation, with some configurations boosting productivity by 74 %. Additional geometries, including concave and stepped-funnel basins, further improved thermal distribution and water output with minimal added complexity. These findings highlight that geometric optimization—particularly when combined with passive or thermal energy storage enhancements—can significantly increase distillate yield and economic viability. Such improvements position hemispherical solar stills as effective and scalable solutions for decentralized freshwater generation in water-stressed environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20743,"journal":{"name":"Process Safety and Environmental Protection","volume":"203 ","pages":"Article 107943"},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145221895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By focusing on transition-specific risks, TRM supports identifying technological vulnerabilities and strategic decisions on production, storage, transport, and investment under uncertainty. Data from 22 granted patents, 77 pending patents, and 50 articles outlined trends and gaps over time. Operational risk management and alkaline electrolysis had great intellectual property interest at short-term. Medium-term trends showed broader SCRM aspects (e.g., quality assurance, failure prevention and monitoring) and greater circular economy focus than short- and long-term. Long-term roadmap highlighted international efforts to scale hydrogen via cost-effective and exergetic-efficient supply chains across sectors. Key management strategies include addressing human error, improving real-time monitoring, decentralised production based on regional factors (spatial resolution), flexible assets, and integrating waste-to-energy applications. Policies should target electrolysis efficiency, advanced storage, safety control, biofuels integration, and large-scale solutions to mitigate renewable intermittency. Future research should optimise failure prevention, predictive maintenance, emergency response, ventilation and obstacle design, and proper operational training.
