Abstract

Read online

Sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting has the potential to realize flexible water production but reaching high water yield in semi-arid climate is still challenging. Here, the authors report a portable and modularized water harvester with scalable, low-cost, and lightweight hygroscopic composite sorbent which shows an exceptional water production in semi-arid climate with low relative humidity of 15%.
