Sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting (SAWH) offers a promising solution to global water scarcity. However, practical implementation is limited by discontinuities in the mass transfer process inside sorbents. This perspective reviews current SAWH technologies and introduces a new concept, mass transfer of SAWH (MT-SAWH), which ensures continuous water collection by facilitating the movement of water molecules within a fixed sorbent bed. We discuss design principles and the potential for using renewable energy to maintain a stable water supply. Our goal is to highlight the future potential of SAWH and encourage the development of efficient water harvesting systems.
基于吸附的大气取水（SAWH）为全球水资源短缺提供了一个有前景的解决方案。然而，实际应用受到吸附剂内部传质过程不连续性的限制。本文综述了当前的SAWH技术，并引入了一个新概念，即SAWH的传质（MT-SAWH），它通过促进水分子在固定吸附剂床层内的移动来确保连续取水。我们讨论了设计原则以及利用可再生能源维持稳定供水的潜力。我们的目标是突出SAWH的未来潜力，并鼓励开发高效的取水系统。
