As an alternative form of vapor compression air conditioning devices, solid desiccant cooling
(SDC) techniques have increasingly been explored recently. The overall performances of …

The shortage of fresh water resources is becoming more and more serious with the
acceleration of modernization and industrialization, especially in some dry welding and …

Water harvesting is a core technology for collecting fresh water in arid areas. In this study,
we design a three-dimensional cactus stem-inspired water harvesting system (WHS) with …

An efficient interfacial heating system composed of a light-absorbing material and a
hydrophilic porous support is developed through eco-friendly and energy-effective …

The present study explores the remarkable photothermal properties and potential
applications exhibited by melanoidin-enriched spent coffee grounds (SCGs). However, the …

Fog collection plays an important role in alleviating the global water shortage. Despite great
progress in creating bionic surfaces to collect fog, water droplets still could adhere to the …

Spent coffee grounds (SCGs) have numerous applications and are often blended with
polymers to create composites. However, SCGs are physically trapped within the polymer …

At present, collecting water directly from the atmosphere has become an effective means to
solve the growing shortage of fresh water. Inspired by the structures of trichomes (hairs) of …

Nature‐driven designs for water crisis have shown much interest in energy‐efficient water
treatment. This review discusses four different bioinspired systems, aquaporin membranes …

Water harvesting, reusable, and antifouling hydrogels have found various applications in the
fields of nanotechnology, biomedicine, food production and agriculture. These water …
