Kinetics of Sorption in Hygroscopic Hydrogels

Carlos D. Diaz-Marin et al.

Summary: A generic framework of sorption kinetics for hygroscopic hydrogels has been developed, with liquid transport due to chemical potential gradient playing a key role in fast kinetics. The high water uptake is attributed to the hydrogel's expansion during liquid transport. Key design parameters governing the kinetics include initial porosity, hydrogel thickness, and shear modulus.

Salting-in Effect of Zwitterionic Polymer Hydrogel Facilitates Atmospheric Water Harvesting

Sara Aleid et al.

Summary: This study discovers for the first time that the salting-in effect of a zwitterionic hydrogel can facilitate water vapor sorption by hygroscopic salt, leading to enhanced swelling capacity and performance of the sorbent. Experimental and theoretical calculations confirmed this salting-in effect. The study also demonstrated a solar energy-driven atmospheric water harvesting process using a photothermal component integrated into the sorbent.

Energy-Saving Smart Windows with HPC/PAA Hybrid Hydrogels as Thermochromic Materials

Liangmiao Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, smart windows were fabricated using poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)-modified HPC hydrogels, with the LCST of the resulting HPC/PAA hybrid hydrogels effectively tuned by solution pH. The sandwich-structured smart window showed high visible-light transmittance, excellent solar energy modulation, outstanding heat-shielding performance, and excellent stability, surpassing other reported thermosensitive materials. The HPC/PAA hydrogels are easy to prepare, nontoxic, biocompatible, low-cost, and environmentally friendly, making them promising materials for energy-saving and climate-adaptable smart windows.
