Transparent conductors as solar energy materials: A panoramic review
TL;DR: Transparent conductors (TCs) have a multitude of applications for solar energy utilization and for energy savings, especially in buildings as discussed by the authors, which leads naturally to considerations of spectral selectivity, angular selectivity, and temporal variability of TCs, as covered in three subsequent sections.

Atmospheric water vapour processor designs for potable water production: a review.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present three classes of water vapour processing (AWVP) technology: cooling a surface below the dewpoint of the ambient air, concentrating water vapours through use of solid or liquid desiccants, or inducing and controlling convection in a tower structure.

Dew water collector for potable water in Ajaccio (Corsica Island, France)
Marc Muselli,Daniel Beysens,Jacques Marcillat,Irina Milimouk,Torbjorn M.J. Nilsson,A. Louche +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on the development of an inexpensive radiative condenser for collecting atmospheric vapor based on the experience gained using a small working model in Grenoble (France), a prototype of 10×3 m2 was established in Ajaccio (Corsica, France).

Using radiative cooling to condense atmospheric vapor: a study to improve water yield
TL;DR: In this article, an inexpensive radiative condenser for collecting atmospheric vapor (dew) was tested in Grenoble (France) and the surface temperature measurements were correlated with meteorological data (wind velocity, air temperature) and compared to the corresponding surface temperature of a horizontal Polymethylmethacrylate (Plexiglas) reference plate located nearby.
