Purifying water with the help of wood, bacteria and the sun

July 8, 2020 by Science Daily

According to the United Nations, about one-fifth of the world’s population lives in areas where water is scarce. Therefore, technologies to produce clean water from undrinkable sources, such as seawater, river or lake water, and contaminated water, are urgently needed. Now, researchers have developed a wood-based steam generator that, with the help of bacterial-produced nanomaterials, harnesses solar energy to purify water.
