Synthesisation, characterisation and water adsorption on novel functional metal organic frameworks for heat transformation process by Han, Bo

“…Therefore, the adsorption devices should be improved with the use of highly efficient adsorbents. The main drawback of AHT system is its large thermal compressor size, which depends on the quality of the porous adsorbents, ranging from surface characteristic to uptake-offtake difference (Δq) per adsorption cycle. …”
