Passive radiative cooling holds transformative potential for achieving energy-free thermal management, yet its effectiveness in hot and humid climates has remained severely limited by humidity-induced performance degradation, restricting cooling powers to only 10-20 W m-2. Here, we report a metal-organic-framework-engi...

Atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) is limited by the high energy demand for sorbent regeneration, while battery thermal management dissipates substantial low-grade heat unused. Here, we propose a thermally symbiotic architecture integrating these systems. Battery discharge waste heat regenerates a MOF-303 sorbent layer...

Coupling solar interfacial evaporation with photocatalysis provides a dual-functional strategy for simultaneous freshwater production and pollutant remediation. However, the current strategy of the passive stacking of functional layers faces bottlenecks due to inherent mechanistic conflicts, specifically manifested as...
