Continuous Energy Harvesting from Ubiquitous Humidity Gradients using Liquid‐Infused Nanofluidics
Advanced Materials, 2021AbstractHumidity‐based power generation that converts internal energy of water molecules into electricity is an emerging approach for harvesting clean energy from nature. Here it is proposed that intrinsic gradient within a humidity field near sweating surfaces, such as rivers, soil, or animal skin, is a promising power resource when integrated with ...

Solar heat helps harvest humidity
Science, 2017Renewable Resources Atmospheric humidity and droplets constitute a huge freshwater resource, especially at the low relative humidity (RH) levels typical of arid environments. Water can be adsorbed by microporous materials such as zeolites, but often, making these materials release the water requires too much energy to be practical. Kim et al.

Australasian Plant Pathology, 2011
Waxflower (Chamelaucium) is an Australian native plant cultivated for cut flowers. The major problem during postharvest handling and transport of cut waxflower stems is floral abscission caused by Botrytis cinerea. To investigate infection of waxflower flowers by this fungal pathogen, experiments were conducted encompassing various environmental ...

Rainwater Harvesting Systems in the Humid Tropics
2015The Tropics comprise about 38 % of the earth’s surface and contain over 40 % of the world’s population (mostly in Asia). As a rough rule, the closer you are to the Equator, the wetter the climate—or more important for rainwater harvesting (RWH)—the more uniform the rainfall through the year.

A super hygroscopic hydrogel for harnessing ambient humidity for energy conservation and harvesting
Energy & Environmental Science, 2018Atmospheric humidity, an abundant source of water, is widely considered as a redundant resource demanding expense of energy to maintain it under comfortable levels for human habitation.

INTRODUCTION Research and land management experience over many decades has demonstrated that poorly planned or managed logging operations in the tropics generally have a deleterious impact on the ecological and hydrological system (Burgess, 1971; Lal, 1987; Bruijnzeel, 1992; Bruenig, 1996).

Rapid Water Harvesting and Nonthermal Drying in Humid Air by N-Doped Graphene Micropads
Langmuir, 2019We demonstrate a novel nanotextured graphene micropad that can rapidly harvest water from air to generate microscale water droplets with the desired size in designated positions on demand by simply applying a negative electric bias of -1.5 to -15 V.

An Atmospheric Water-Harvester with Ultrahigh Uptake-Release Efficiency at Low Humidity
ACS NanoAtmospheric water harvesting is a practical strategy that is achieved by removing materials from air moisture to relieve global water scarcity. Here we design a water-harvester (i.e., MOF-303/thiolated polymer composite (MTC)) by using a metal-organic framework (MOF-303) and thiolated chitosan (TC) skeleton.

The electromechanically and mechano-electrically active three-layered laminate composed of a Nafion membrane, carbide-derived carbon-based electrodes, and a 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulphonate ionic liquid electrolyte responds to humidity gradient and can therefore serve as a differential humidity sensor or an energy harvesting ...
