“…Advanced sorbents, such as zeolites, porous carbon, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), − covalent organic frameworks (COFs), − polymers, − hygroscopic salts, and hybrid sorbents, − have been developed in recent years. In addition, the applications of water vapor sorbents have been extended much beyond freshwater production, including, but not limited to, heat transformation, − dehumidification, − and power generation. , As the need for SAWH sorbents grows, the production of sorbents is expected to increase sharply in the future. However, environmental concerns from sorbent preparation and disposal have been largely overlooked thus far.…”
