Current and potential energetically passive procedures for improving atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) capabilities involve different strategies and dedicated materials. In this paper researchers in France have reviewed the advantages and limitations of different AWH strategies from the perspective of morphology and wettability optimization, substrate cooling, and sorbent assistance. They have demonstrated various applications based on advanced AWH technologies. They proposed a prospective concept of multifunctional water vapor harvesting panel based on promising cooling material, inspired by silicon-based solar energy panels providing a brief outlook of its advantages and challenges…read more.
