Abstract
Sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) offers a promising solution to the water scarcity in arid regions. However, majority of the existing AWH sorbents are suffering from rather poor water productivity due to their slow water adsorption-desorption cycling capability especially when they are applied in high packing thickness. Herein, an oxygen plasma-treated magnetic flower-like porous carbon (P-MFPC) with large open surfaces, abundant surface oxygen-containing moieties, and excellent localized magnetic induction heating (LMIH) capacity is developed. These merits, together with the use of air-blowing-assisted water adsorption and LMIH-driven water desorption strategy, synergistically allow P-MFPC with 2cm of packing thickness to complete a AWH cycling in 20min and deliver a record 4.5 LH2O kg-1 day-1 of water productivity at 30% relative humidity. Synergistically enabling such an ultrafast AWH cycling at high sorbent packing thickness provides a promising way for the scalable high-yield AWH with compact AWH systems.
