The Atmospheric water harvesting by using Neodymium Metal Organic Framework (MOF-417)

Abstract

The capture of tidy water from damp air without having the use of bulky instruments or large amounts of energy, has made appeal as a possible eco-friendly substitute to traditional water collecting methods. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer prospects for this application due to their structural flexibility, which allows for the straightforward, scalable adjustment of structural and functional elements. Here, we have tried to provide a parameter-based analysis of hydrolytically stable MOFs of varying structures to explore the physical properties to control the speed of water storage in this type of material and to search for its overall adsorbing capacity by weight. Examination of temperature, humidity and powder bed depth to determine ideal parameters for adsorption and desorption was performed. MOF-417 has potential and able to produce 0.5 litre water per kilogram of MOF in a day.
