Solar‐Driven Drum‐Type Atmospheric Water Harvester Based on Bio‐Based Gels with Fast Adsorption/Desorption Kinetics (Adv. Mater. 32/2024)

Abstract

Atmospheric Water Harvester In article number 2403876, Lin Dai, Chenyu Li, Wenshuai Chen, Chuanling Si, and co-workers report a solar-powered gel that can rapidly adsorb and release moisture, created by integrating a whole biomass-derived polymer network with lithium chloride. Next, a drum-type, tunable, and portable harvester is assembled that can collect atmospheric water within a brief time. This approach provides new insights for fast atmospheric water harvesting in extreme environments.
