The regulation of the balance of the sensible and latent loads remains a critical problem for
built environment control. Unlike the traditional vapor compression system that features high …

The enormous energy consumption of space cooling exacerbates the global energy crisis
and the environmental governance burden, in which the latent cooling load for …

Indoor relative humidity is an important parameter to determine indoor air quality, occupants'
thermal comfort and building energy consumption. As recommended by ASHRAE, the …

Introducing atmospheric water harvesting (AWH), beyond the arid atmosphere, under
comfortable indoor humidity and temperature regime has its urgency in terms of …

The concept of autonomous humidity control material (AHCM) is inspired by phase change
material. AHCM is a new type of functional sorbent material. It can adsorb/release sufficient …

This study investigates the water vapor sorption performance of five metal organic
framework materials (MIL-101 (Cr), MIL-100 (Fe), aluminum fumarate, MOF-303 (Al), PCN …

Surface halogenation is an important means to tune or improve functionalities of solid-state
materials. However, this concept has been hardly explored and exploited in the engineering …

The most contracted cerium (IV)-based metal–organic framework (MOF) with fcu topology
incorporating an alkyne-based linker, namely acetylenedicarboxylate (ADC), was …

We report a water induced phase transformation in a flexible MOF,[Zn3 (OH) 2 (btca)
2](Hbtca= 1H-benzotriazole-5-carboxylic acid), that exhibits a two-step water vapor sorption …

Valorization of industrial wastes in an economic and environmental-friendly way is
important. In the present study, the preparation of humidity control coatings (HCCs), which is …
