Solar‐Driven Bifunctional Adsorption‐Storage Films for Ultra‐Fast Dehumidification and Freshwater Supply in Low‐carbon Buildings

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bifunctional adsorption‐storage films enable autonomous indoor humidity regulation and freshwater harvesting, rapidly decreasing relative humidity from 90.7% to 21.6% within one hour while producing 1.1 kg·m−2·day−1 of water, offering a passive route towards energy‐efficient humidity control and sustainable indoor environments. ABSTRACT Indoor humidity

Carboxylate‐Driven Metal Pre‑Fixation COF@MOF Synthesis: Enabling Tailored Structural, Dimensional, and Defect Engineering

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A universal metal pre‐fixation (MPF) strategy directs the precise crystallization of diverse metal‐organic frameworks (Co‐MOF, ZIF‐8, Fe‐MOF, UIO‐66) on covalent organic framework (PY‐COF) scaffolds. The resulting hierarchical hybrids exhibit tunable porosity, structural defective and dimensional, as well as enhanced performance in CH4/C2H6/C3H8 ...

Adapting to Changing Rainfall and Developing Off‐Farm Employment: Implications for the Adoption of Direct Seeding in Rice Production

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rice is the main staple food for more than half of the world's population and the income from rice is an essential source for livelihoods of millions of households. We examine whether direct seed in rice production is an adaptation of rice farmers to rainfall changes and farm labor scarcity.
