摘要
The world has been finding new ways for harvesting water that can fulfill our daily needs among which atmospheric water generation (AWG) is an emerging solution, currently under continuous development process. By this process, ambient humidity in the air can be extracted mechanically via cooling and interception, or chemically via absorption, for use as needed. This study reviews various technologies of AWG that are being used for harvesting water using the atmospheric air, with their comparison based on outputs, efficiencies, and economics. Materials including new hydrogel formations which can be used for the advancement of the technology are reported. Peltier-thermoelectric cooler-based AWG and desiccant-based AWG have been thoroughly discussed throughout the review. The study reflects the importance of harvesting water from the air as this technology has the potential to attain self-sustainability without relying on a freshwater source, both actively and passively.
