Research Progress in the Preparation and Application of Adsorption Type Atmospheric Water Harvesting Materials

Abstract

The shortage of water resources caused by climate change, industrial development, and population growth poses a serious threat to human development. Among different water harvesting technologies, atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) has attracted much attention due to its lack of spatial or temporal limitations. This article summarizes the latest progress in the design and research of AWH adsorbents, elucidates the structure performance relationship for controlling water capture and release processes, summarizes the characteristics and limitations of different types of adsorbents, and provides a strong reference for future AWH material synthesis.
