Article Synopsis
- Adsorbents recover water vapor in desiccant air conditioning (DAC) and atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) systems, with a focus on enhancing energy efficiency through liquid adsorbents rather than solid ones.
- Mixing hydrophobic molecules, like poly(propylene glycol) (PPG), into liquid adsorbents, such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), significantly improves water desorption efficiency by lowering the desorption temperature.
- The study suggests that the interaction between PEG and PPG allows for more effective water release, paving the way for the development of better liquid adsorbents in energy-efficient moisture recovery systems.
