Atmospheric water harvesting(AWH)is a promising solution to the water shortage problem.Current sorption-based AWH(SAWH)systems seldom obtain both wide climatic adaptability and high energy efficiency due to the lack of thermodynamic optimization.To achieve the ideal harvesting circulation in SAWH systems,the"optimal harvesting window"(OHW)design based on thermodynamic analysis was first proposed and validated by our prototype.The"OHW"theory indicates the water production rate and energy efficiency could be improved by properly reducing the adsorption temperature.As the humid-ity increases,the optimal adsorption temperature should be closer to the dew point of the environment.Experimental results revealed that,loaded with 3 kg widely adopted silica gel,the daily water production could reach 5.76-17.64 L/d with ultrahigh energy efficiency of 0.46-1.5 L/kWh.This prototype could also achieve optimal performance in wide climatic conditions in terms of 13-35 ℃ and 18％-72％RH.Lastly,the performance of photovoltaic(PV)-driven SAWH was evaluated.Results showed that a 1 m2 PV panel could generate 0.66-2 L water per day in Shanghai throughout the year,the highest in opening literature.Notably,this work introduces a promising concept that can help achieve large-scale,ultra-fast,energy-efficient AWH worldwide.
