With the increasing environmental pollution and energy shortage, development of new green technology has become an urgent need for all mankind. Water evaporation induced power generation is a newly discovered way to capture from water process driven by thermal energy. Due its endothermic, sustainable huge potential, it received extensive attention rapid in recent years. This article material. The research progress devices systematically summarized five aspects, including types, device configuration, performance, application mechanism. challenges improving physical mechanism performance are analyzed, possible directions future prospected.
