AI Technical Summary
Existing marine atmospheric water harvesting technologies suffer from low capture efficiency, poor environmental adaptability, and strong dependence on energy supply, making it difficult to achieve stable all-weather operation under variable marine climate conditions.
The marine atmospheric water collection device integrates a Janus structure copper mesh and a radiation cooling coating. It captures fog droplets through the Janus structure copper mesh and condenses water vapor using the radiation cooling coating. Combined with the thermal conductivity of the metal frame and the natural cold source design of the water tank, it achieves efficient collection around the clock.
It enables efficient all-weather collection of fog droplets and water vapor without the need for external energy input, making it suitable for mid-to-low latitude maritime climates and areas with weak infrastructure, thus reducing operational complexity and maintenance costs.
