“…Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) have been recently investigated in several water‐related studies for their exceptional porosity, structural stability under moisture exposure within working pressure range, and moderate regeneration temperature. These characteristics make them promising for practical applications such as adsorption heat pumps, [ 7 ] thermal batteries, [ 8 ] desalination, [ 9 ] indoor humidity control, [ 10 ] dehumidification, [ 11 ] and atmospheric water harvesting. [ 4a,12 ] To date, all reported MOF‐based air‐to‐water production technologies are functional through typical interfacial solar (artificial/natural) heating with a passive dew water collector, making their implementation and water generation restricted by climatic constrain.…”

Introducing atmospheric water harvesting (AWH), beyond the arid atmosphere, under comfortable indoor humidity and temperature regime has its urgency in terms of commercialization and addressing the worldwide freshwater crisis. Herein, the synthesis and characterization of a series of binary (aminopropyl functionalized magnesium phyllosilicate or aminoclay, and CuBTC) and ternary (aminoclay, graphene oxide, and CuBTC) MOF nanocomposites and their water storage and harvesting properties from the indoor atmosphere are demonstrated. The nanocomposites show enhanced hydrothermal stability—39.5% increase in water uptake capacity (with respect to bulk CuBTC) with 67.2% of utmost water harvesting efficiency by blending aminoclay and graphene‐oxide with CuBTC MOF. The study further extrapolates the water collection dynamics by varying ambient humidity, release temperature and on‐demand sorption/desorption cycle under the ordinary indoor condition without any solar irradiation. The ternary nanocomposite enables 0.431 gg−1 of water at 90% relative humidity with a maximum value of 0.445 gg−1 indoor water collections per day.

“…[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] Reticular chemistry of MOFs has enabled us to design and control of pore size, surface area, and hydrophilicity at the molecular level. [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] In the past two decades, a number of MOFs have been developed as water adsorbents for diverse water adsorption-related applications. [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] Regarding AC and AHP applications, the design of a viable water adsorbent would meet the following four criteria: 1) steep uptake behavior at low relative pressure (P/P 0 < 0.3) with high working capacity; 2) high coefficient of performance (COP) and facile water adsorption/desorption kinetics for energy efficiency; 3) regeneration at low temperature (T < 70-80 °C); 4) excellent chemical stability and cycling performance.…”

Developing efficient and stable water adsorbents for adsorption-driven heat transfer technology still remains a challenge due to the lack of efficient strategies to enhance low-pressure water uptakes. The authors herein demonstrate that the immobilization of Lewis basic nitrogen sites into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can improve water uptake and target benchmark coefficient of performances (COPs) for cooling and heating. They present the water sorption properties of a chemically stable MOF (termed as Zr-adip), designed by incorporating hydrophilic nitrogen sites into the adsorbent MIP-200. Zr-adip exhibits S-shaped sorption isotherms with an extremely high water uptake of 0.43 g g −1 at 303 K and P/P 0 = 0.25, higher than MIP-200 (0.39 g g −1 ), KMF-1 (0.39 g g −1 ) and MOF-303 (0.38 g g −1 ). Theoretical calculations reveal that the incorporated N sites can serve as secondary adsorption sites to moderately interact with water, providing more binding sites to strengthen the water binding affinity. Zr-adip achieves exceptionally high COPs of 0.79 (cooling) and 1.75 (heating) with a low driving temperature of 70 °C, outperforming MIP-200 (0.78 and 1.53) and KMF-1 (0.75 and 1.74). Combined with its ultrahigh stability, excellent cycling performance, and easy regeneration, Zr-adip represents one of the best water adsorbents for adsorption-driven cooling and heating.
