A metal–organic framework for efficient water-based ultra-low-temperature-driven cooling

Abstract

Ultra-low-temperature-actuated adsorption-driven chillers that rely on water as the cooling agent are desirable for energy-efficient and environmentally benign cooling devices. Here the authors show that the metal–organic framework of composition [Al(OH)(C6H2O4S)] displays high water uptake capacity, high stability, and driving temperatures as low as 60 °C.
