Despite the boom in atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) techniques used to deal with the challenge of clean water shortage, few studies focus on hygroscopic materials that can indicate a moisture change in real time. Here, a moisture-indicating hygroscopic aerogel working in a broad range of relative humidities (RHs) and with fast sorption kinetics is designed for solar driven sorption-based AWH by integrating ethanolamine-decorated CoCl2 (E-CoCl2), microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) and LiCl-decorated polypyrrole (Cl-ppy). The specimen can visually indicate the sorption process in real time while harvesting moisture, achieving a flexible response to changes in environmental humidity and solar radiation. Fabricating an open, unordered, interconnected skeleton in E-CoCl2 using MFC can effectively enhance its sorption kinetics and also prevent the leakage of liquefied salt solution. The specimen has water sorption capacities of 0.39–2.05 kg kg−1 under RH 25–85% within 3.5 h and can quickly desorb within 1.5 h under 1 sun. An AWH device can conduct 3 sorption/desorption cycles within 9 h during one day outdoors and produces 2.81 kgwater kgsorbent−1. This strategy is a promising approach to enable sustainable water delivery without geographical and hydrological limitations, especially for the landlocked communities and arid areas.

用于太阳能驱动的多个大气集水循环的水分指示纤维素气凝胶

尽管用于应对清洁水短缺挑战的大气集水 (AWH) 技术蓬勃发展,但很少有研究关注可以实时指示水分变化的吸湿材料。在这里,通过整合乙醇胺装饰的 CoCl 2 (E-CoCl 2 )、微纤化纤维素 ( MFC) 和 LiCl 装饰的聚吡咯 (Cl-ppy)。样品在收获水分的同时,可以实时直观地显示吸附过程,实现对环境湿度和太阳辐射变化的灵活响应。在 E-CoCl 2 中制造开放、无序、互连的骨架使用 MFC 可以有效增强其吸附动力学,也可以防止液化盐溶液的泄漏。样品在 RH 25-85% 下 3.5 小时内具有 0.39-2.05 kg kg -1 的吸水能力,并且可以在 1 个阳光下在 1.5 小时内快速解吸。AWH 装置可以在户外一天的 9 小时内进行 3 次吸附/解吸循环,并产生 2.81 kgkg吸附剂-1。该战略是一种有前途的方法,可以在不受地理和水文限制的情况下实现可持续供水,特别是对于内陆社区和干旱地区。
