Abstract
A first aspect of this work relates to water harvesting in power plants. A water adsorbent material is driven through adsorption-desorption cycles using waste heat from a power plant to harvest water from ambient air. In a preferred embodiment, metal-organic-framework (MOF) powders are used as the water adsorbent material for this application. A second aspect of this work relates more generally to rapid adsorption-desorption cycling of MOFs for various applications.
