Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorption-based atmospheric water harvesting device for arid climates.
Hyunho Kim,Sameer R. Rao,Eugene A. Kapustin,Eugene A. Kapustin,Lin Zhao,Sungwoo Yang,Omar M. Yaghi,Omar M. Yaghi,Omar M. Yaghi,Evelyn N. Wang +9 more
TL;DR: A metal-organic framework-based water harvesting device that can deliver over 0.25 L of water per kg of adsorbent over a single cycle at relative humidities of 10–40% and at subzero dew points is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrahigh-efficiency desalination via a thermally-localized multistage solar still
Z.Y. Xu,Z.Y. Xu,Lenan Zhang,Lin Zhao,Bangjun Li,Bikramjit S. Bhatia,Chenxi Wang,Kyle L. Wilke,Youngsup Song,Omar Labban,John H. Lienhard,Ruzhu Wang,Evelyn N. Wang +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a thermally-localized multistage solar still (TMSS) architecture was proposed to achieve a record-high solar-to-vapor conversion efficiency of 385% with a production rate of 5.78 L m−2 h−1 under one-sun illumination.
PatentDOI
High-performance sub-ambient radiative cooling enabled by optically selective and thermally insulating polyethylene aerogel
TL;DR: Polyethylene aerogel (PEA) is developed—a solar-reflecting, thermally insulating, and low-thermal-conductivity material that can be integrated with existing emitters to address the challenges of passive radiative cooling under direct sunlight.
Journal ArticleDOI
Passive directional sub-ambient daytime radiative cooling
Bikram Bhatia,Arny Leroy,Yichen Shen,Lin Zhao,Melissa Gianello,Duanhui Li,Tian Gu,Juejun Hu,Marin Soljacic,Evelyn N. Wang +9 more
TL;DR: A directional approach to passive radiative cooling that exploits the angular confinement of solar irradiation in the sky to achieve sub-ambient cooling during the day regardless of the emitter properties in the solar spectrum is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual-Stage Atmospheric Water Harvesting Device for Scalable Solar-Driven Water Production
Alina LaPotin,Yang Zhong,Lenan Zhang,Lin Zhao,Arny Leroy,Hyunho Kim,Sameer R. Rao,Evelyn N. Wang +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a dual-stage solar-thermal-driven atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) system with optimized transport is proposed to recover the latent heat of condensation of the top stage and maintain the required temperature difference between stages, enabling higher daily water productivity than a single-stage device without auxiliary units for heating or vapor transport.
