Abstract
The present invention relates to methods for absorbing and/or desorbing water by contacting water with hybrid inorganic-organic material having high surface area, and pores with the size of molecules or nanometers. More specifically, the water adsorbent has facile adsorption-desorption even below 100° C., having high adsorption capacity, and having high desorption capacity when it is heated up to the temperature below 100° C. The adsorbent of the present invention can be applied to a humidifier, dehumidifier, cooler and heater. The present invention also relates to a technology to control humidity using the adsorbent.
