MOFs Harvest Water from Thin Air

MOFs Harvest Water from Thin Air
Feb-06-20
Scientists have identified metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that can passively absorb almost nine litres of water per day per kilo.

Using little or no energy, this technology has the potential to impact millions of people living in arid countries, or dealing with the consequences of climate change.

The sponge-like crystal structure of MOFs gives them the highest surface area per gram of any material – just one gram would have the surface area of more than an acre if laid out flat.
