Present research expresses an experimental investigation on nanoparticle use to enhance Solar still (SS) yield. Manganese Oxide (MNO2) is selected as a material and used in SS. The nanomaterial added with the black chrome paint of SS walls increase weight concentrations (WC) MNO2 have been from 20% 50 see its effect It has observed that heat transfer water temperature enhanced by paint. improved yield also 19.5% compared alone WC 20–50%. MNO2nanoparticle's payback time 82 days at than 98 days.
