Development of Shaped MIL-100(Fe) Granules for High-Performing Adsorption Desalination: From Formulation Optimization to System Test.

Adsorption desalination (AD) driven by low-grade renewable energy or waste heat is a sustainable solution to the water crisis. Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with excellent water adsorption performances have been recognized as some of the most promising candidates for AD. However, previous studies mainly focused on MOFs in powder form, causing pipe clogging and a drastic pressure drop, which inspire the development of shaped MOFs for industrial use.
