Data set of "Design Efficiency: A critical perspective on testing methods for solar driven photothermal evaporation and photocatalysis"

This record contains the data set of the article "Design Efficiency: A critical perspective on testing methods for solar driven photothermal evaporation and photocatalysis" by Hady Hamza, Maria Vittoria Diamanti, Vanni Lughi, Sergio Rossi and Daniela Meronia (2025). Please see Hamza et al. (2025) for further information on data acquisition. The data set provides the UV-vis-NIR spectra of commercial transparent sheets of different materials, both dry and after condensate formation at their surface, and their water contact angle values.
