Article Synopsis
- * Sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting (SAWH) is a promising technique that can sustainably extract water from atmospheric moisture, even in desert climates, using advanced materials and devices.
- * The review discusses advancements in sorbent materials, device thermal designs, operation patterns, and outlines future challenges and research goals for enhancing the efficiency and output of SAWH systems.
Water and electricity scarcity are two global challenges, especially in arid and remote areas. Harnessing ubiquitous moisture and sunlight for water and power generation is a sustainable route to address these challenges. Herein, we report a moisture-induced energy harvesting strategy to realize efficient sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting (SAWH) and 24-hour thermoelectric power generation (TEPG) by synergistically utilizing moisture-induced sorption/desorption heats of SAWH, solar energy in the daytime and radiative cooling in the nighttime.
