Abstract
To enhance the atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) performance of MIL-160(Al), a series of composite adsorbents were synthesized by incorporating multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) via a hydrothermal method and subsequently loading lithium chloride (LiCl) through an impregnation process. The materials were evaluated in terms of adsorption capacity, desorption efficiency, and cyclic stability. MWCNTs improved structural stability, reducing the adsorption loss to 5.26 % after 30 cycles, while LiCl enhanced water adsorption performance, with equilibrium capacity increased by up to 40.12 % at 80 % RH. The dual-composite system achieved a balance between capacity and durability, showing up to 32.54 % at 80 % RH higher water uptake than pristine MIL-160(Al) and maintained structural integrity and stable performance across 30 cycles. These findings offer support into the rational design of MOF-based sorbents for efficient and long-term AWH applications.
