Population booms and growth in both the industrial and agricultural sectors has driven a recent surge in the need for portable water in many areas, while desertification and the rise in sea levels brought on by climate change and global warming have increased the scarcity of fresh water. To address the resulting growing water deficit, passive solar stills are now being considered as a practical option for the world's desert and semi-desert regions, and numerous initiatives have thus been undertaken to increase their thermal efficiency and productivity, as they have yet to be widely commercialized. Among such technological developments, a method for using plates to absorb more energy during the daytime, using energy storage materials to take advantage of the heat thus generated during the hours of darkness, has drawn additional attention to the quest for effective operation of solar stills. This paper thus sought to review the effectiveness of various materials for storing thermal energy in a solar still with a modified absorbent plate. The best results were found by doubling the area of the absorbing plate exposed to sunlight without increasing the overall size of the solar still, while in terms of the phase change materials, paraffin wax showed the greatest improvement in the total distilled output over a traditional solar still.
