Exploring moisture adsorption on cobalt-doped ZnFe₂O₄ for applications in atmospheric water harvesting.

ABSTRACT: Sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting (SBAWH) is a highly promising approach for extracting water from the atmosphere thanks to its sustainability, exceptional energy efficiency, and affordability. In this work, ZnFe₂O₄ and Zn_0.4Co_0.6Fe₂O₄ were evaluated for moisture adsorption. The desired materials were synthesized by a surfactant-assisted sol-gel method. Synthesized samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), and point of zero charge (PZC). Crystallinity and phase composition were evaluated by XRD analysis. Several parameters were
