A Guideline to Evaluate Sorbent Performance for Atmospheric Water Harvesting

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Reporting guidelines for atmospheric water harvesting sorbents allow benchmarking between research groups across seven key performance indicators (KPIs). Beyond simple equilibrium values (such as capacity or maximum water uptake), these KPIs validate sensitivity, reversibility, regeneration conditions, chemical stability, kinetics, and water quality ...

Anisotropic Transparency of Alkali‐Treated Wood

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 2, February 2026.
Alkali treatment makes delignified wood transparent by removing hemicellulose and exchanging carboxyl‐group counterions, which softens the cell walls. This allows the internal lumens to collapse, making the material highly transparent. The tangential section allows for a more complete collapse of cell lumens, leading to a denser structure and superior ...
