【New publication】Highly efficient water recovery by controlling the hydrophilicity of liquid desiccant!!
We discovered that a random copolymer of highly hydrophilic polyethylene glycol and slightly hydrophobic polypropylene glycol can effectively absorb and release water. This phenomenon has promising potential for applications in atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) systems, which convert ambient water vapor into usable liquid water. This research was led by Mr. Ikegawa, who graduated in FY2023!“Liquid Polyether-Based Water Harvester for Near Ambient Temperature Operation via Hydrophilicity-Difference-Induced Water Transfer”
