Among them, solar-driven atmospheric water harvesting (SAWH) using metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has emerged as a highly promising solution, owing to MOFs’ exceptional topological/compositional tunability, and high porosity/surface area. This review systematically explores the key material-level and system-level factors influencing SAWH performance. First, we discuss the fundamental requirements for effective water adsorption, including high water uptake at low relative humidity, steep adsorption isotherms, and rapid adsorption–desorption kinetics. We then analyze the photothermal properties critical to solar-triggered desorption and classify strategies to enhance light-to-heat conversion in MOF-based systems, such as bandgap tuning, framework functionalization, and MOF–composite formation. The stability of MOFs under humid conditions, a major limitation for long-term operation, is also critically examined, with a focus on hydrolytic degradation mechanisms and design strategies for robust frameworks. In addition, auxiliary considerations such as management of contaminants, and shaping methodologies for MOFs are addressed, alongside novel device architectures that enhance passive solar utilization. We highlight the evolution of passive SAWH devices, showcasing advances in structural design, material integration, and thermodynamic modeling that enable efficient, continuous, and scalable operation. By consolidating recent advances in MOF chemistry, photothermal engineering, and device optimization, this review provides a comprehensive roadmap for the future development of efficient, sustainable, and deployable SAWH systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":411,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Materials Science","volume":"158 ","pages":"Article 101648"},"PeriodicalIF":40.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145836255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review provides the first comprehensive report on the HPT processing‒structure‒property relationship in the realm of FCC MPEAs. It casts light on the breakdown of the conventional stacking fault energy‒deformation mechanism correlation for HPT-processed FCC MPEAs, the unexpected occurrence of deformation-induced phase transformations and it clarifies the role of different material-specific as well as processing-dependent factors dictating the grain refinement down to the nanoscale regime. Additionally, a detailed discussion is presented on the potential of HPT processing to achieve outstanding mechanical properties for FCC MPEAs. The multifunctional aspects of the nanostructured FCC MPEAs are critically examined from the viewpoint of their high temperature stability, corrosion resistance and susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement.

This review focuses on the potential of Machine Learning (ML) to address these uncertainties by uncovering complex, nonlinear interactions between proteins and Mg surfaces. Traditional empirical models often fall short in capturing such interactions due to their dependence on predefined formulations and extensive datasets.

This review discusses ML pipelines, including data preprocessing, feature engineering and the use of large language models (LLMs) to generate knowledge graphs to map cause-effect relationships.

However, critical challenges of achieving precise modulation on CO₂ selectivity with RE elements and their mechanisms are still being pursued. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in RE-based electrocatalysts for selective conversion of CO₂ towards each C₁ (CO, HCOOH/HCOO⁻ and CH₄) or C₂₊ (C₂H₄, C₂H₅OH) products, and aims to construct the relationship between the RE-mediated structure and electrocatalytic performance.
