Effects of physical characteristics on metal–organic frameworks adsorption performance for water vapor: a review

Key Points

• To explore how physical characteristics of metal-organic frameworks affect their ability to adsorb water vapor.
• Review existing literature on metal-organic frameworks and their adsorption mechanisms.
• Analyze the effects of pore size, volume, and surface area on water vapor uptake.
• Pore size significantly impacts the shape of adsorption isotherms.
• Surface area and pore volume are crucial for maximizing water vapor uptake.
• Chemisorption and hydrogen bonding are key mechanisms in the adsorption process.
