Abstract
Provided herein are atmospheric moisture harvester systems, as well as methods using such systems, for capturing water from surrounding air. The systems and methods use adsorbents to adsorb water from the air. For example, the adsorbents may be metal-organic frameworks. The systems and methods desorb this water in the form of water vapor, and the water vapor is condensed into liquid water and collected. The liquid water is suitable for use as drinking water.
