Systems and methods relating to a wearable atmospheric water generation device are described herein. Systems can comprise a sorbent material within a sorbent chamber configured to capture water vapor from ambient air and can be configured to produce a reduced pressure condition within the sorbent chamber, thereby desorbing water from the sorbent material. The systems can further comprise a condenser for producing liquid water from the desorbed water vapor.

A method of water uptake is provided. The method includes contacting a hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF) with water to form a mixture where the HOF comprises hydrogen bonded units of trimesic acid and guanazole. The HOF has a sheet structure, where the sheets form an intercrossed macroporous network with pores on a surface. The HOF absorbs at least a portion of the water in the mixture.

Apparatus for producing water (1) from ambient humidity comprising a heat exchanger (10), comprising a desiccant (11a′) of ambient humidity, a solar thermal panel (30) for giving up heat to the heat exchanger (10) and the solar thermal panel (30) being a concentrated one.

Passive radiative cooling structures and apparatus manufactured with such cooling structures conserve energy needs. A flexible film transparent to visible light incorporates particles at a volume percentage larger than 25% so as to absorb and emit infrared radiation at wavelengths where Earth's atmosphere is transparent. Another film transparent to visible light is thin and flexible and configured to absorb and emit infrared radiation at wavelengths where Earth's atmosphere is transparent, wherein etchings or depositions are present on one or both surfaces. A high efficiency cooling structure has an emissive layer sandwiched between a waveguide layer and a thermal conductive layer. A solar cell panel is covered by a transparent passive radiative cooling film. A container housing an active cooling unit incorporates passive radiative cooling structures on one or more exterior surfaces.
