Water Adsorption in Metal-Organic Frameworks: Characteristics, Mechanisms, and Structure-Property Relationships.

ABSTRACT: To address the increasingly limited water availability, using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to capture atmospheric water vapor as usable resources has emerged as a promising strategy. The adsorption characteristics of MOFs as well as their step pressure (i.e., the pressure when the steep rise in water uptake, if any, occurs) directly influence the amount of collectable water and thus their harvesting effectiveness. To date, a comprehensive understanding of water adsorption behaviors and how they are influenced by MOF properties remains lacking. This study addresses this gap by systematically investigating water adsorption in >200 strategically selected MOFs with diverse features. The results demonstrate that water adsorption in MOFs is highly complex, revealing various subtypes of both n
