Abstract
Atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) is recognized as a crucial strategy to address the global challenge of water scarcity by tapping into the vast reserves of atmospheric moisture for potable water supply. Within this domain, sorbents lie in the core of AWH technologies as they possess broad adaptability across a wide spectrum of humidity levels, underpinned by the cyclic sorption and desorption processes of sorbents, necessitating a multi-scale viewpoint regarding the rational material and chemical selection and design. This Invited Review delves into the essential sorption mechanisms observed across various classes of sorbent systems, emphasizing the water-sorbent interactions and the progression of water networks. A special focus is placed on the insights derived from isotherm profiles, which elucidate sorbent structures and sorption dynamics. From these foundational principles, we derive material and chemical design guidelines and identify key tuning factors from a structural-functional perspective across multiple material systems, addressing their fundamental chemistries and unique attributes. The review further navigates through system-level design considerations to optimize water production efficiency. This review aims to equip researchers in the field of AWH with a thorough understanding of the water-sorbent interactions, material design principles, and system-level considerations essential for advancing this technology.

Abstract
Water scarcity remains a grand challenge across the globe. Sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting (SAWH) is an emerging and promising solution for water scarcity, especially in arid and noncoastal regions. Traditional approaches to AWH such as fog harvesting and dewing are often not applicable in an arid environment (<30% relative humidity (RH)), whereas SAWH has demonstrated great potential to provide fresh water under a wide range of climate conditions. Despite advances in materials development, most demonstrated SAWH devices still lack sufficient water production. In this work, we focus on the adsorption bed design to achieve high water production, multicyclic operation, and a compact form factor (high material loading per heat source contact area). The modeling efforts and experimental validation illustrate an optimized design space with a fin-array adsorption bed enabled by high-density waste heat, which promises 5.826 Lwater kgsorbent -1 day-1 at 30% RH within a compact 1 L adsorbent bed and commercial adsorbent materials.

Abstract
We report a crystal-engineering study conducted upon a platform of three mixed-linker square lattice (sql) coordination networks of general formula [Zn(Ria)(bphy)] [bphy = 1,2-bis(pyridin-4-yl)hydrazine, H2Ria = 5-position-substituted isophthalic acid, and R = -Br, -NO2, and -OH; compounds 1-3]. Analysis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data of 1-2 and the simulated crystal structure of 3 revealed that 1-3 are isomorphous and sustained by bilayers of sql networks linked by hydrogen bonds. Although similar pore shapes and sizes exist in 1-3, distinct isotherm shapes (linear and S shape) and uptakes (2.4, 11.6, and 13.3 wt %, respectively) were observed. Ab initio calculations indicated that the distinct water sorption properties can be attributed to the R groups, which offer a range of hydrophilicity. Calculations indicated that the significantly lower experimental uptake in compound 1 can be attributed to a constricted channel. The calculated water-binding sites provide insights into how adsorbed water molecules bond to the pore walls, with the strongest interactions, water-hydroxyl hydrogen bonding, observed for 3. Overall, this study reveals how pore engineering can result in large variations in water sorption properties in an isomorphous family of rigid porous coordination networks.

Abstract
Sorption-based atmospheric water-harvesting (AWH) could help to solve global freshwater scarcity. The search for adsorbents with high water-uptake capacity at low relative humidity, rapid adsorption-desorption kinetics and high thermal conductivity is a critical challenge in AWH. Herein, we report a MAF-4 (aka ZIF-8)-derived nanoporous carbon (NPCMAF-4-800) with multiple N-doped sites, considerable micropore characteristics and inherent photothermal properties, for efficient water production in a relatively arid climate. NPCMAF-4-800 exhibited optimal water-sorption performance of 306 mg g-1 at 40% relative humidity (RH). An excellent sunlight-absorption rate was realized (97%) attributed to its high degree of graphitization. A proof-of-concept device was designed and investigated for the practical harvesting of water from the atmosphere using natural sunlight. NPCMAF-4-800 achieved an unprecedentedly high water production rate of 380 mg g-1 h-1 at 40% RH, and could produce 1.77 L kg-1 freshwater during daylight hours in an outdoor low-humidity climate of ∼25 °C and 40% RH. These findings may shed light on the potential of MOF-derived porous carbons in the AWH field, and inspire the future development of solar-driven water-generation systems.

Abstract
Atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) is a promising solution to the water shortage problem. Current sorption-based AWH (SAWH) systems seldom obtain both wide climatic adaptability and high energy efficiency due to the lack of thermodynamic optimization. To achieve the ideal harvesting circulation in SAWH systems, the "optimal harvesting window" (OHW) design based on thermodynamic analysis was first proposed and validated by our prototype. The "OHW" theory indicates the water production rate and energy efficiency could be improved by properly reducing the adsorption temperature. As the humidity increases, the optimal adsorption temperature should be closer to the dew point of the environment. Experimental results revealed that, loaded with 3 kg widely adopted silica gel, the daily water production could reach 5.76-17.64 L/d with ultrahigh energy efficiency of 0.46-1.5 L/kWh. This prototype could also achieve optimal performance in wide climatic conditions in terms of 13-35 °C and 18%-72% RH. Lastly, the performance of photovoltaic (PV)-driven SAWH was evaluated. Results showed that a 1 m2 PV panel could generate 0.66-2 L water per day in Shanghai throughout the year, the highest in opening literature. Notably, this work introduces a promising concept that can help achieve large-scale, ultra-fast, energy-efficient AWH worldwide.

Abstract
Hydrolytically stable materials exhibiting a wide range of programmable water sorption behaviors are crucial for on-demand water sorption systems. While notable advancements in employing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as promising water adsorbents have been made, developing a robust yet easily tailorable MOF scaffold for specific operational conditions remains a challenge. To address this demand, we employed a topology-guided linker installation strategy using NU-600, which is a zirconium-based MOF (Zr-MOF) that contains three vacant crystallographically defined coordination sites. Through a judicious selection of three N-heterocyclic auxiliary linkers of specific lengths, we installed them into designated sites, giving rise to six new MOFs bearing different combinations of linkers in predetermined positions. The resulting MOFs, denoted as NU-606 to NU-611, demonstrate enhanced structural stability against capillary force-driven channel collapse during water desorption due to the increased connectivity of the Zr6 clusters in the resulting MOFs. Furthermore, incorporating these auxiliary linkers with various hydrophilic N sites enables the systematic modulation of the pore-filling pressure from about 55% relative humidity (RH) for the parent NU-600 down to below 40% RH. This topology-driven linker installation strategy offers precise control of water sorption properties for MOFs, highlighting a facile route to design MOF adsorbents for use in water sorption applications.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained prominence as potential materials for atmospheric water harvesting, a vital solution for arid regions and areas experiencing severe water shortages. However, the molecular factors influencing the performance of MOFs in capturing water from the air remain elusive. Among all MOFs, Ni2X2BTDD (X = F, Cl, Br) stands out as a promising water harvester due to its ability to adsorb substantial amounts of water at low relative humidity (RH). Here, we use advanced molecular dynamics simulations carried out with the state-of-the-art MB-pol data-driven many-body potential to monitor water adsorption in the three Ni2X2BTDD variants as a function of RH. Our simulations reveal that the type of halide atom in the three Ni2X2BTDD frameworks significantly influences the corresponding molecular mechanisms of water adsorption: while water molecules form strong hydrogen bonds with the fluoride atoms in Ni2F2BTDD, they tend to form hydrogen bonds with the nitrogen atoms of the triazolate linkers in Ni2Cl2BTDD and Ni2Br2BTDD. Importantly, the large size of the bromide atoms reduces the void volume in the Ni2Br2BTDD pores, which enable water molecules to initiate an extended hydrogen-bond network at lower RH. These findings not only underscore the prospect for precisely tuning structural and chemical modifications of the frameworks to optimize their interaction with water, but also highlight the predictive power of simulations with the MB-pol data-driven many-body potential. By providing a realistic description of water under different thermodynamic conditions and environments, these simulations yield unique, molecular-level insights that can guide the design and optimization of energy-efficient water harvesting materials.

Abstract
Establishing alternative methods for freshwater production is imperative to effectively alleviate global water scarcity, particularly in land-locked arid regions. In this context, extracting water from the ubiquitous atmospheric moisture is an ingenious strategy for decentralized freshwater production. Sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting (SAWH) shows strong potential for supplying liquid water in a portable and sustainable way even in desert environments. Herein, the latest progress in SAWH technology in terms of materials, devices, and systems is reviewed. Recent advances in sorbent materials with improved water uptake capacity and accelerated sorption-desorption kinetics, including physical sorbents, polymeric hydrogels, composite sorbents, and ionic solutions, are discussed. The thermal designs of SAWH devices for improving energy utilization efficiency, heat transfer, and mass transport are evaluated, and the development of representative SAWH prototypes is clarified in a chronological order. Thereafter, state-of-the-art operation patterns of SAWH systems, incorporating intermittent, daytime continuous and 24-hour continuous patterns, are examined. Furthermore, current challenges and future research goals of this cutting-edge field are outlined. This review highlights the irreplaceable role of heat and mass transfer enhancement and facile structural improvement for constructing high-yield water harvesters.

Abstract
The development of thermally driven water-sorption-based technologies relies on high-performing water vapor adsorbents. Here, polymorphism in Al-metal-organic frameworks is disclosed as a new strategy to tune the hydrophilicity of MOFs. This involves the formation of MOFs built from chains of either trans- or cis- µ-OH-connected corner-sharing AlO4(OH)2 octahedra. Specifically, [Al(OH)(muc)] or MIP-211, is made of trans, trans-muconate linkers, and cis-µ-OH-connected corner-sharing AlO4(OH)2 octahedra giving a 3D network with sinusoidal channels. The polymorph MIL-53-muc has a tiny change in the chain structure that results in a shift of the step position of the water isotherm from P/P0 ≈ 0.5 in MIL-53-muc, to P/P0 ≈ 0.3 in MIP-211. Solid-state NMR and Grand Canonical Monte Carlo reveal that the adsorption occurs initially between two hydroxyl groups of the chains, favored by the cis-positioning in MIP-211, resulting in a more hydrophilic behavior. Finally, theoretical evaluations show that MIP-211 would allow achieving a coefficient of performance for cooling (COPc) of 0.63 with an ultralow driving temperature of 60 °C, outperforming benchmark sorbents for small temperature lifts. Combined with its high stability, easy regeneration, huge water uptake capacity, green synthesis, MIP-211 is among the best adsorbents for adsorption-driven air conditioning and water harvesting from the air.

Abstract
Water-based evaporative cooling is emerging as a promising technology to provide sustainable and low-cost cold to alleviate the rising global cooling demand. Given the significant and fast progress made in recent years, this review aims to provide a timely overview on the state-of-the-art material design and engineering in water-based evaporative cooling. The fundamental mechanisms and major components of three water-based evaporative cooling processes are introduced, including direct evaporative cooling, cyclic sorption-driven liquid water evaporative cooling (CSD-LWEC), and atmospheric water harvesting-based evaporative cooling (AWH-EC). The distinctive requirements on the sorbent materials in CSD-LWEC and AWH-EC are highlighted, which helps synthesize the literature information on the advanced material design and engineering for the purpose of improving cooling performance. The challenges and future outlooks on further improving the water-based evaporative cooling performance are also provided.

Abstract
Harvesting water from air in sorption-based devices is a promising solution to decentralized water production, aiming for providing potable water anywhere, anytime. This technology involves a series of coupled processes occurring at distinct length scales, ranging from nanometer to meter and even larger, including water sorption/desorption at the nanoscale, condensation at the mesoscale, device development at the macroscale and water scarcity assessment at the global scale. Comprehensive understanding and bespoke designs at every scale are thus needed to improve the water-harvesting performance. For this purpose, a brief introduction of the global water crisis and its key characteristics is provided to clarify the impact potential and design criteria of water harvesters. Next the latest molecular-level optimizations of sorbents for efficient moisture capture and release are discussed. Then, novel microstructuring of surfaces to enhance dropwise condensation, which is favorable for atmospheric water generation, is shown. After that, system-level optimizations of sorbent-assisted water harvesters to achieve high-yield, energy-efficient, and low-cost water harvesting are highlighted. Finally, future directions toward practical sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting are outlined.

Abstract
Hygroscopic hydrogels are emerging as scalable and low-cost sorbents for atmospheric water harvesting, dehumidification, passive cooling, and thermal energy storage. However, devices using these materials still exhibit insufficient performance, partly due to the limited water vapor uptake of the hydrogels. Here, the swelling dynamics of hydrogels in aqueous lithiumchloride solutions, the implications on hydrogel salt loading, and the resulting vapor uptake of the synthesized hydrogel-salt composites are characterized. By tuning the salt concentration of the swelling solutions and the cross-linking properties of the gels, hygroscopic hydrogels with extremely high salt loadings are synthesized, which enable unprecedented water uptakes of 1.79 and 3.86 gg-1 at relative humidity (RH) of 30% and 70%, respectively. At 30% RH, this exceeds previously reported water uptakes of metal-organic frameworks by over 100% and of hydrogels by 15%, bringing the uptake within 93% of the fundamental limit of hygroscopic salts while avoiding leakage problems common in salt solutions. By modeling the salt-vapor equilibria, the maximum leakage-free RH is elucidated as a function of hydrogel uptake and swelling ratio. These insights guide the design of hydrogels with exceptional hygroscopicity that enable sorption-based devices to tackle water scarcity and the global energy crisis.

Confined Water Cluster Formation in Water Harvesting by Metal-Organic Frameworks: CAU-10-H versus CAU-10-CH 3. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2210050.

Abstract
Several metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) excel in harvesting water from the air or as heat pumps as they show a steep increase in water uptake at 10-30 % relative humidity (RH%). A precise understanding of which structural characteristics govern such behavior is lacking. Herein, CAU-10-H and CAU-10-CH3 are studied with H, CH3 corresponding to the functions grafted to the organic linker. CAU-10-H shows a steep water uptake ≈18 RH% of interest for water harvesting, yet the subtle replacement of H by CH3 in the organic linker drastically changes the water adsorption behavior to less steep water uptake at much higher humidity values. The materials' structural deformation and water ordering during adsorption with in situ sum-frequency generation, in situ X-ray diffraction, and molecular simulations are unraveled. In CAU-10-H, an energetically favorable water cluster is formed in the hydrophobic pore, tethered via H-bonds to the framework μOH groups, while for CAU-10-CH3, such a favorable cluster cannot form. By relating the findings to the features of water adsorption isotherms of a series of MOFs, it is concluded that favorable water adsorption occurs when sites of intermediate hydrophilicity are present in a hydrophobic structure, and the formation of energetically favorable water clusters is possible.

Abstract
We construct a data set of metal-organic framework (MOF) linkers and employ a fine-tuned GPT assistant to propose MOF linker designs by mutating and modifying the existing linker structures. This strategy allows the GPT model to learn the intricate language of chemistry in molecular representations, thereby achieving an enhanced accuracy in generating linker structures compared with its base models. Aiming to highlight the significance of linker design strategies in advancing the discovery of water-harvesting MOFs, we conducted a systematic MOF variant expansion upon state-of-the-art MOF-303 utilizing a multidimensional approach that integrates linker extension with multivariate tuning strategies. We synthesized a series of isoreticular aluminum MOFs, termed Long-Arm MOFs (LAMOF-1 to LAMOF-10), featuring linkers that bear various combinations of heteroatoms in their five-membered ring moiety, replacing pyrazole with either thiophene, furan, or thiazole rings or a combination of two. Beyond their consistent and robust architecture, as demonstrated by permanent porosity and thermal stability, the LAMOF series offers a generalizable synthesis strategy. Importantly, these 10 LAMOFs establish new benchmarks for water uptake (up to 0.64 g g-1) and operational humidity ranges (between 13 and 53%), thereby expanding the diversity of water-harvesting MOFs.

Abstract
Materials capable of selectively adsorbing or releasing water can enable valuable applications ranging from efficient humidity and temperature control to the direct atmospheric capture of potable water. Despite recent progress in employing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as privileged water sorbents, developing a readily accessible, water-stable MOF platform that can be systematically modified for high water uptake at low relative humidity remains a significant challenge. We herein report the development of a tunable MOF that efficiently captures atmospheric water (up to 0.78 g water/g MOF) across a range of uptake humidity (27-45%) employing a readily accessible Zn bibenzotriazolate MOF, CFA-1 ([Zn5(OAc)4(bibta)3], H2bibta = 1H,1H'-5,5'-bibenzo[d][1,2,3]triazole), as a base for subsequent diversification. Controlling the metal identity (zinc, nickel) and coordinating nonstructural anion (acetate, chloride) via postsynthetic exchange modulates the relative humidity of uptake, facilitating the use of a single MOF scaffold for a diverse range of potential water sorption applications. We further present a fundamental theory dictating how continuous variation of the pore environment affects the relative humidity of uptake. Exchange of substituents preserves capacity for water sorption, increases hydrolytic stability (with 5.7% loss in working capacity over 450 water adsorption-desorption cycles for the nickel-chloride-rich framework), and enables continuous modulation for the relative humidity of pore condensation. This combination of stability and tunability within a synthetically accessible framework renders Ni-incorporated M5X4bibta3 promising materials for practical water sorption applications.

Abstract
A hydrophobic composite sponge (HPCS) is developed for the first time using the dip coating and drying method in an effort to remove organic contaminants like toluene and various oils from water. We employed a polyurethane (PU) sponge, which is reasonably priced, easily accessible, high mechanical strength and a suitable porous substrate on which the hydrophobic composite of MIL-53(Al) along with PDMS was anchored. A crystalline metal organic framework (MOF), MIL-53(Al), with adjustable porosity, functionality, and hydrophobicity is used for oil absorption. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is utilized to increase the hydrophobicity of MIL-53(Al). The MIL-53(Al)@PDMS composite was used to the produce a sponge having high hydrophobicity and oleophilicity. In contrast to PU sponge, which has a low water contact angle (79.64°), the hydrophobic composite sponge showed a wide range of oil absorption capacity (12-50.5 g/g), a very low amount of water absorption (0.84 g/g), and water contact angle of 128.13°. This hydrophobic composite performed phenomenally by separating out various oils and solvents from water even in varying ionic strengths. Moreover, the recyclability of the formed composite was also performed resulting into 6-20 cycles for different oils and solvents. The synthesized hydrophobic composite sponge was characterized using FT-IR, XRD, TEM, surface area analysis, FESEM, XPS, TG analysis and contact angle measurement. Furthermore, the materials used in the synthesis of composite are non-toxic and do not harm the environment, resulting in no greenhouse gas emissions making our composite environmentally friendly.

Abstract
The development of fast-response sensors for detecting NH3 at room temperature remains a formidable challenge. Here, to address this challenge, two highly robust Hoffmann-type metal-organic frameworks are rationally applied as the NH3 sensing materials which possess ultra-high static adsorption capacity for NH3, only lower than the current benchmark material. The adsorption mechanism is in-depth unveiled by dynamic adsorption and simulation studies. The assembled interdigital electrode device exhibits low detection limit (25 ppb) and short response time (5 s) at room temperature, which set a record among all electrical signal sensors. Moreover, the sensor exhibits excellent selectivity towards NH3 in the presence of 13 other potential interfering gases. Prominently, the sensor can stably output signals for more than two months at room temperature and can be recovered by simply purging nitrogen at room temperature without heating. This study opens up a way for reasonably designing gas sensing materials for toxic gases.

Abstract
Humidity is one of the most important indicators affecting human health. Here, a pair of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) of positional isomers (p-COF and o-COF) for indoor humidity regulation is reported. Although p-COF and o-COF have the same sql topology and pore size, they exhibit different water adsorption behaviors due to the subtle differences in water adsorption sites. Particularly, o-COF exhibits a steep adsorption isotherm in the range of 45-65% RH with a hysteresis loop, which is perfectly suitable for indoor humidity regulation. In the laboratory experiment, when the humidity of the external environment is 20-75% RH, o-COF can control the humidity of the room in the range of 45-60% RH. o-COF has shown great potential as a dual humidification/dehumidification adsorbent for indoor humidity regulation.

Abstract
Freshwater scarcity is a global challenge posing threats to the lives and daily activities of humankind such that two-thirds of the global population currently experience water shortages. Atmospheric water, irrespective of geographical location, is considered as an alternative water source. Sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting (SAWH) has recently emerged as an efficient strategy for decentralized water production. SAWH thus opens up a self-sustaining source of freshwater that can potentially support the global population for various applications. In this review, the state-of-the-art of SAWH, considering its operation principle, thermodynamic analysis, energy assessment, materials, components, different designs, productivity improvement, scale-up, and application for drinking water, is first extensively explored. Thereafter, the practical integration and potential application of SAWH, beyond drinking water, for wide range of utilities in agriculture, fuel/electricity production, thermal management in building services, electronic devices, and textile are comprehensively discussed. The various strategies to reduce human reliance on natural water resources by integrating SAWH into existing technologies, particularly in underdeveloped countries, in order to satisfy the interconnected needs for food, energy, and water are also examined. This study further highlights the urgent need and future research directions to intensify the design and development of hybrid-SAWH systems for sustainability and diverse applications.

Abstract
The development of high-yield, metal-organic framework (MOF)-based water harvesters in arid areas remains challenging due to the absence of effective strategies for enhancing water sorption capacity and kinetics. Herein, we presented a novel strategy for in situ fabrication of calcium chloride (CaCl2) decorated MOF-derived porous sorbents (PCC-42) through pyrolysis Ca-MOF and subsequently hydrochloric acid (HCl) vapor treatment process. The resulting PCC-42 sorbents exhibited a high water adsorption capacity of 3.04 g g-1 at 100% relative humidity (RH), outstanding photothermal performance, and rapid water uptake-release kinetics, surpassing most reported MOFs adsorbents. At 20, 30, 40, and 50% RH, PCC-42 demonstrated water uptake capacity of 0.45, 0.59, 0.76, and 0.9 g g-1, which represented an increase of 421 and 940% (at 20% RH) and 333 and 351% (at 30% RH) compared to Ca-MOF and CaCl2·2H2O, respectively. Approximately 80% of the adsorbed water in PCC-42 could be released under one sun within 50 min. Indoor water harvesting experiments demonstrated that PCC-42 is a promising adsorbent for various humidity environments. Additionally, outdoor solar-driven atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) tests revealed a high daily water production of 1.13 L/kgadsorbent under typical arid conditions (30-60% RH). The proposed strategy helps the design of high-performance adsorbents for solar-driven AWH in arid environments.

Abstract
The adsorption method for atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) is considered as a promising heat-driven technology for potable water supply in arid regions. This research is focused on novel composite sorbents based on hygroscopic salts loaded in the pores of MIL-101(Cr) developed for AWH. The composites based on LiCl, LiBr, CaCl2 , and Ca(NO3 )2 were synthesized and comprehensively studied by SEM, XRD, N2 adsorption, and thermogravimetric methods. We evidence that the CaCl2 /MIL-101(Cr) composite demonstrates a high net water uptake of 0.52-0.59 g_(H2 O)/g_(composite) per cycle under conditions of Saudi Arabia and the Sahara desert as the reference regions with extra-dry climate, which exceeds the appropriate values for other adsorbents. It is shown that water adsorption on the composite cannot be presented as a combination of the adsorption on the components, thus indicating a synergistic effect. A detailed characterization of water coordination, mobility, and hydrogen bonding within the confined CaCl2 hydrates and salt solution using solid-state 2 H NMR spectroscopy has been performed. It is established that pore confinement promotes a prolonged transition to a dynamically melted state of the hydrated salt and a notable decrease of the melting temperature, which facilitates the molecular transport of water and causes the alteration of sorption properties of CaCl2 inside MIL-101 pores. Finally, the performance of AWH employing CaCl2 /MIL-101(Cr) was evaluated in terms of the fractions of water extracted and collected, and the specific energy consumption, demonstrating its high potential for AWH.

Abstract
Functional porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been explored for a number of potential applications in catalysis, chemical sensing, water capture, gas storage, and separation. MOFs are among the most promising candidates to address challenges facing our society related to energy and environment, but the successful implementation of functional porous MOF materials are contingent on their stability; therefore, the rational design of stable MOFs plays an important role towards the development of functional porous MOFs. In this Focus article, we summarize progress in the rational design and synthesis of stable MOFs with controllable pores and functionalities. The implementation of reticular chemistry allows for the rational top-down design of stable porous MOFs with targeted topological networks and pore structures from the pre-selected building blocks. We highlight the reticular synthesis and applications of stable MOFs: (1) MOFs based on high valent metal ions (e.g., Al3+, Cr3+, Fe3+, Ti4+ and Zr4+) and carboxylate ligands; (2) MOFs based on low valent metal ions (e.g., Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) and azolate linkers. We envision that the synthetic strategies, including modulated synthesis and post-synthetic modification, can potentially be extended to other more complex systems like metal-phosphonate framework materials.

Abstract
We investigated the water H-bond network and its dynamics in Ni2Cl2BTDD, a prototypical MOF for atmospheric water harvesting, using linear and ultrafast IR spectroscopy. Utilizing isotopic labeling and infrared spectroscopy, we found that water forms an extensive H-bonding network in Ni2Cl2BTDD. Further investigation with ultrafast spectroscopy revealed that water can reorient in a confined cone up to ∼50° within 1.3 ps. This large angle reorientation indicates H-bond rearrangement, similar to bulk water. Thus, although the water H-bond network is confined in Ni2Cl2BTDD, different from other confined systems, H-bond rearrangement is not hindered. The picosecond H-bond rearrangement in Ni2Cl2BTDD corroborates its reversibility with minimal hysteresis in water sorption.

Abstract
In this work, we report the synthesis, structural characterisation and sorption properties of an 8-fold interpenetrated diamondoid (dia) metal-organic framework (MOF) that is sustained by a new extended linker ligand, [Cd(Imibz)2], X-dia-2-Cd, HImibz or 2 = 4-((4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenylimino)methyl)benzoic acid. X-dia-2-Cd was found to exhibit reversible single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SC-SC) transformations between four distinct phases: an as-synthesised (from N,N-dimethylformamide) wide-pore phase, X-dia-2-Cd-α; a narrow-pore phase, X-dia-2-Cd-β, formed upon exposure to water; a narrow-pore phase obtained by activation, X-dia-2-Cd-γ; a medium-pore CO2-loaded phase X-dia-2-Cd-δ. While the space group remained constant in the four phases, the cell volumes and calculated void space ranged from 4988.7 Å3 and 47% (X-dia-2-Cd-α), respectively, to 3200.8 Å3 and 9.1% (X-dia-2-Cd-γ), respectively. X-dia-2-Cd-γ also exhibited a water vapour-induced structural transformation to the water-loaded X-dia-2-Cd-β phase, resulting in an S-shaped sorption isotherm. The inflection point occurred at 18% RH with negligible hysteresis on the desorption profile. Water vapour temperature-humidity swing cycling (60% RH, 300 K to 0% RH, 333 K) indicated hydrolytic stability of X-dia-2-Cd and working capacity was retained after 128 cycles of sorbent regeneration. CO2 (at 195 K) was also observed to induce a structural transformation in X-dia-2-Cd-γ and in situ PXRD studies at 1 bar of CO2, 195 K revealed the formation of X-dia-2-Cd-δ, which exhibited 31% larger unit cell volume than X-dia-2-Cd-γ.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of materials with diverse chemical and structural properties, and have been shown to effectively adsorb various types of guest molecules. The mechanism of water adsorption in NU-1500-Cr, a high-performance atmospheric water harvesting MOF, is investigated using a combination of molecular dynamics simulations and infrared spectroscopy. Calculations of thermodynamic and dynamical properties of water as a function of relative humidity allow for following the adsorption process from the initial hydration stage to complete filling of the MOF pores. Initial hydration begins at the water molecules that saturate the open Cr3+ sites of the framework, which is then followed by the formation of water chains that extend along the channels connecting the hexagonal pores of the framework. Water present in these channels gradually coalesces and fills the hexagonal pores sequentially after the channels are completely hydrated. The development of hydrogen-bond networks inside the MOF pores as a function of relative humidity is characterized at the molecular level using experimental and computational infrared spectroscopy. A detailed analysis of the OH-stretch vibrational band indicates that the low-frequency tail stems from strongly polarized hydrogen-bonded water molecules, suggesting the presence of some structural disorder in the experimental samples. Strategies for designing efficient water harvesting MOFs are also proposed based on the mechanism of water adsorption in NU-1500-Cr.

Abstract
Although science has made great strides in recent years, access to fresh water remains a major challenge for humanity due to water shortage for two-thirds of the world's population. Limited access to fresh water becomes more difficult due to the lack of natural resources of water. Many of these resources are also contaminated by human activities. Many attempts have been made to harvest water from the atmosphere, and condensation systems have received much attention. One of the challenges in generation systems is the high consumption energy of the cooling feed, despite the generation of large amounts of water from the atmosphere. As other airborne contaminants condense with water vapor, the water after harvesting needs to be treated, which adds to construction and maintenance costs. Also, the need for high relative humidity in condensation systems has led scientists to find ways of atmospheric water harvesting at low relative humidity and use renewable energy sources. Sorption systems can absorb atmospheric water without the need for an energy supply and spontaneously. Desiccants such as silica gel and zeolite, due to their high affinity for water, can absorb water vapor in the air through physical or physicochemical bonding, but all of these have slow adsorption kinetics. Therefore, it takes a long time for the water harvesting cycle or they are not able to absorb water at low relative humidity, and others need a lot of energy for the water desorption phase. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF) are porous materials that, due to their special structure, are considered the most promising material for atmospheric water harvesting at low relative humidity. MOF-303 has been identified as the most efficient material to date and can harvest 0.7 liters of water per kilogram of MOF-303 at 10% RH and 27 °C. MOFs can harvest atmospheric water even in desert areas using only solar energy, and the water produced is drinkable and does not need to be treated. In this review, systems and methods of atmospheric water harvesting will be studied and compared and then the mechanism of adsorption and desorption in sorption systems will be discussed in detail.

Abstract
Atmospheric water harvesting represents a promising technique to address water stress. Advanced adsorbents have been rationally designed to achieve high water uptake, yet their water sorption kinetics and regeneration temperature greatly limit water production efficiency. Herein, we demonstrated that 2D covalent organic frameworks (COFs), featuring hydrophobic skeleton, proper hydrophilic site density, and 1D open channels significantly lowered the water diffusion and desorption energy barrier. DHTA-Pa COF showed a high water uptake of 0.48 g/g at 30 % R.H. with a remarkable adsorption rate of 0.72 L/Kg/h (298 K) and a desorption rate of 2.58 L/Kg/h (333 K). Moreover, more than 90 % adsorbed water could be released within 20 min at 313 K. This kinetic performance surpassed the reported porous materials and boosted the efficiency for multiple water extraction cycles. It may shed light on the material design strategy to achieve high daily water production with low-energy input.

Abstract
Reticular chemistry allows for the rational assembly of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with designed structures and desirable functionalities for advanced applications. However, it remains challenging to construct multi-component MOFs with unprecedented complexity and control through insertion of secondary or ternary linkers. Herein, we demonstrate that a Zr-based MOF, NU-600 with a (4,6)-connected she topology, has been judiciously selected to employ a linker installation strategy to precisely insert two linear linkers with different lengths into two crystallographically distinct pockets in a one-pot, de novo reaction. We reveal that the hydrolytic stability of these linker-inserted MOFs can be remarkably reinforced by increasing the Zr6 node connectivity, while maintaining comparable water uptake capacity and pore-filling pressure as the pristine NU-600. Furthermore, introducing hydrophilic -OH groups into the linear linker backbones to construct multivariate MOFs can effectively shift the pore-filling step to lower partial pressures. This methodology demonstrates a powerful strategy to reinforce the structural stability of other MOF frameworks by increasing the connectivity of metal nodes, capable of encouraging developments in fundamental sciences and practical applications.

Abstract
In contrast to the vast Al-oxo molecular cluster chemistry, Al-based building units for metal-organic framework (MOF) construction are limited in structural diversity and complexity. Synthesis of single crystalline MOFs based on this "hard" metal is further complicated by the poor reversibility of the Al-organic coordination linkages. Here, a strategy to employ two kinds of linkages with distinct strength-strong Al-carboxylate linkage and weak Cu-pyrazol N linkage-gives FDM-91 (FDM=Fudan Materials) with gigantic Al24 -based units. After replacing the weak moieties with organic linkers post-synthetically, two new stable MOFs with exceptional water harvesting capacity (up to 0.53 g g-1 ) and outstanding cycling performance are developed. Linkage-selective dissociation of FDM-91 further leads to the isolation of the Al24 molecular clusters. The versatile chemistry performed here to reinforce or deconstruct MOFs provides a new way to make important extended and discrete structures.

High-yield, green and scalable methods for producing MOF-303 for water harvesting from desert air. Nat Protoc 2023; 18:136-156.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are excellent candidates for water harvesting from desert air. MOF-303 (Al(OH)(PZDC), where PZDC is 1-H-pyrazole-3,5-dicarboxylate), a robust and water-stable MOF, is a particularly promising water-harvesting sorbent that can take up water at low relative humidity and release it under mild heating. Accordingly, development of a facile, high-yield synthesis method for its production at scale is highly desirable. Here we report detailed protocols for the green, water-based preparation of MOF-303 on both gram and kilogram scales. Specifically, four synthetic methods (solvothermal, reflux, vessel and microwave), involving different equipment requirements, are presented to guarantee general accessibility. Typically, the solvothermal method takes ~24 h to synthesize MOF-303, while the reflux and vessel methods can reduce the time to 4-8 h. With the microwave-assisted method, the reaction time can be further reduced to just 5 min. In addition, we provide guidance on the characterization of MOF-303, as well as water-harvesting MOFs in general, to ensure high quality of the product in terms of its purity, crystallinity, porosity and water uptake. Furthermore, to address the need for future commercialization of this material, we demonstrate that our protocol can be employed to produce 3.5 kg per batch with a yield of 91%. MOF-303 synthesized at this large scale shows similar crystallinity and water uptake capacity compared to the respective material produced at a small scale. Our synthetic procedure is green and water-based, and can produce the MOF within hours.

Abstract
Extracting atmospheric moisture for freshwater production is an appealing way to mitigate the global water crisis. However, the low moisture sorption capacity and high desorption temperature are the major bottlenecks for efficient atmospheric water harvesting. Herein, we develop a transition metal super-hygroscopic hydrogel by an economical strategy, which is constructed through a facile coordination between metal salts and ethanolamine. When the empty electron orbital of the metal ion is coordinated with the lone electron pair of nitrogen or oxygen atom, the water active sorption site is formed. A single water layer is bonded on the sites by a coordination effect, followed by physical interaction with water to form multi-layer structures. The Fe and Co ions in the hydrogel function as dual sorption sites to capture moisture, which can harvest additional water by the synergistic effect of bimetals. As a result, the bimetal hydrogel contributes to a high water uptake of 5.22 g g-1 at 95% RH, triggering the desorption process by one solar intensity due to its low desorption temperature (≤50 °C).

Abstract
Atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) provides a fascinating chance to facilitate a sustainable water supply, which obtains considerable attention recently. However, ignoring the energy efficiency of AWH leads to high energy consumption in current prototypes (ca. 101 to 102 MJ kg-1 ), misfitting with the high-strung and complicated water-energy nexus. In this perspective, a robust evaluation of existing AWHs is conducted and a detailed way to high-efficiency AWH is paved. The results suggest that using cooling-assisted adsorption will weaken the bounds of climate to sorbent selections and have the potential to improve efficiency by more than 50%. For device design, the authors deeply elucidate how to perfect heat/mass transfer to narrow the gap between lab and practices. Reducing heat loss, recovering heat and structured sorbent are the main paths to improve efficiency on the device scale, which is more significant for a large-scale AWH. Besides efficiency, the techno-economic evaluation reveals that developing a cost-effective AWH is also crucial for sustainability, which can be contributed by green synthesis routes and biomass-based sorbents. These analyses provide a uniform platform to guide the next-generation AWH to mitigate the global water crisis.

Abstract
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. Notably, the synergistic effects significantly improve all-day thermoelectric power density (~346%) and accelerate atmospheric water harvesting compared with conventional designs. We further demonstrate moisture-induced energy harvesting for a hybrid SAWH-TEPG device, exhibiting high water production of 750 g m-2, together with impressive thermoelectric power density up to 685 mW m-2 in the daytime and 21 mW m-2 in the nighttime. Our work provides a promising approach to realizing sustainable water production and power generation at anytime and anywhere.

Abstract
Crucial steps toward designing water sorption materials and fine-tuning their properties for specific applications include precise identification of adsorption sites and establishment of rigorous molecular-level insight into the water adsorption process. We report stepwise crystallographic mapping and density functional theory computations of adsorbed water molecules in ALP-MOF-1, a metal-organic framework decorated with distinct open metal sites and carbonyl functional groups that serve as water anchoring sites for seeding the nucleation of a complex water network. Identification of an unusual water adsorption step in ALP-MOF-1 motivated the tuning of metal ion composition to adjust water uptake. These studies provide direct evidence that the identity of the open metal sites in MOFs can dramatically affect water adsorption behavior between 0 and ∼20% RH and that multiple proximal water anchoring sites along the MOF skeleton facilitate water uptake which could be potentially useful for applications requiring rapid and energetically facile water sorption.

Abstract
AbstractSorption-based atmospheric water harvesting has the potential to realize water production anytime, anywhere, but reaching a hundred-gram high water yield in semi-arid climates is still challenging, although state-of-the-art sorbents have been used. Here, we report a portable and modularized water harvester with scalable, low-cost, and lightweight LiCl-based hygroscopic composite (Li-SHC) sorbents. Li-SHC achieves water uptake capacity of 1.18, 1.79, and 2.93 g g−1 at 15%, 30%, and 60% RH, respectively. Importantly, considering the large mismatch between water capture and release rates, a rationally designed batch processing mode is proposed to pursue maximum water yield in a single diurnal cycle. Together with the advanced thermal design, the water harvester shows an exceptional water yield of 311.69 g day−1 and 1.09 g gsorbent−1 day−1 in the semi-arid climate with the extremely low RH of ~15%, demonstrating the adaptability and possibility of achieving large-scale and reliable water production in real scenarios.

Abstract
That physisorbents can reduce the energy footprint of water vapor capture and release has attracted interest because of potential applications such as moisture harvesting, dehumidification, and heat pumps. In this context, sorbents exhibiting an S-shaped single-step water sorption isotherm are desirable, most of which are structurally rigid sorbents that undergo pore-filling at low relative humidity (RH), ideally below 30% RH. Here, we report that a new flexible one-dimensional (1D) coordination network, [Cu(HQS)(TMBP)] (H2HQS = 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid and TMBP = 4,4'-trimethylenedipyridine), exhibits at least five phases: two as-synthesized open phases, α ⊃ H2O and β ⊃ MeOH; an activated closed phase (γ); CO2 (δ ⊃ CO2) and C2H2 (ϵ ⊃ C2H2) loaded phases. The γ phase underwent a reversible structural transformation to α ⊃ H2O with a stepped sorption profile (Type F-IV) when exposed to water vapor at <30% RH at 300 K. The hydrolytic stability of [Cu(HQS)(TMBP)] was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) after immersion in boiling water for 6 months. Temperature-humidity swing cycling measurements demonstrated that working capacity is retained for >100 cycles and only mild heating (<323 K) is required for regeneration. Unexpectedly, the kinetics of loading and unloading of [Cu(HQS)(TMBP)] compares favorably with well-studied rigid water sorbents such as Al-fumarate, MOF-303, and CAU-10-H. Furthermore, a polymer composite of [Cu(HQS)(TMBP)] was prepared and its water sorption retained its stepped profile and uptake capacity over multiple cycles.

Linker Functionalization Strategy for Water Adsorption in Metal-Organic Frameworks. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27092614.

Abstract
Water adsorption in metal-organic frameworks has gained a lot of scientific attention recently due to the potential to be used in adsorption-based water capture. Functionalization of their organic linkers can tune water adsorption properties by increasing the hydrophilicity, thus altering the shape of the water adsorption isotherms and the overall water uptake. In this work, a large set of functional groups is screened for their interaction with water using ab initio calculations. The functional groups with the highest water affinities form two hydrogen bonds with the water molecule, acting as H-bond donor and H-bond acceptor simultaneously. Notably, the highest binding energy was calculated to be -12.7 Kcal/mol for the -OSO3H group at the RI-MP2/def2-TZVPP-level of theory, which is three times larger than the reference value. Subsequently, the effect of the functionalization strategy on the water uptake is examined on a selected set of functionalized MOF-74-III by performing Monte Carlo simulations. It was found that the specific groups can increase the hydrophilicity of the MOF and enhance the water uptake with respect to the parent MOF-74-III for relative humidity (RH) values up to 30%. The saturation water uptake exceeded 800 cm3/cm3 for all candidates, classifying them among the top performing materials for water harvesting.

Abstract
Donning of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the healthcare sector has been intensified by the on-going COVID-19 pandemic around the globe. While extensive PPE provides protection, it typically limits moisture permeability and severely hinders the sweat evaporation process, resulting in greater heat stress on the personnel. Herein, a zinc-poly(vinyl alcohol) (Zn-PVA) composite film is fabricated by embedding a super-hygroscopic zinc-ethanolamine complex (Zn-complex) in the PVA matrix. By attaching the Zn-PVA composite film, the relative humidity (RH) inside the protective suit decreases from 91.0% to 48.2%. The reduced RH level, in turn, enhances evaporative cooling, hence bringing down the heat index from 64.6 to 40.0 °C at an air temperature of 35 °C, remarkably lowering the likelihood of heat stroke. The American Society for Testing and Materials tests conducted on a sweating manikin have also proven that the Zn-PVA composite films can significantly reduce the evaporative resistance of the protective suit by 90%. The low material cost, facile fabrication process, and reusability allow the Zn-PVA composition films to be readily available for healthcare workers worldwide. This application can be further extended to other occupations that are facing severe thermal discomfort and heat stress.

Abstract
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/P0 = 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.

Abstract
In thermoelectric generator (TEG) systems, heat dissipation from their cold sides is an accessible, low-cost, and effective way to increase the temperature gap for their thermoelectric performance enhancement. Although significant efforts have been dedicated mediated by hygroscopic hydrogel coolers as self-sustained alternatives for effective heat removal, it still remains a challenge for overcoming instabilities in their cooling process. The inevitable mechanical deformation of these conventional hydrogels induced by excessive water desorption may cause a detached cooling interface with the targeted substrates, leading to undesirable cooling failure. Herein, a self-sustained and durable evaporative cooling approach for TEG enabled by atmospheric hygroscopic ionogels (RIGs) with stable interfaces to efficiently improve its thermoelectric performance is proposed. Owing to its superior hygroscopicity, the RIGs can achieve higher heat dissipation for TEG through water evaporation than that of common commercial metal heat sinks. Moreover, its favorable adhesion enables the RIG closely interact with the TEG surface either in static or dynamic conditions for a durable thermoelectric performance enhancement. It is believed that such a self-sustained evaporative cooling strategy based on the RIG will have great implications for the enhancement of TEG's efficiency, demonstrating a great promise in intermittent thermal-energy utilizations.
