wedesignarobustmicrocellularandmicro-nanochannelphotothermalaerogel

(MMPA)foratmosphericwaterharvesting, inspiredbythexylemofconifers,

which is realizedbydirectional freeze-dryingandtheCa2+ ioncross-linking

technique.MMPAcanbedesignedbyusinghollowMIL-101(Cr), cellulose

acetate nanofibers, sodium alginate, and polypyrrole. Such a MMPA is

endowedwithawaterharvestingeffectdue tothehighspecificsurfacearea
