(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
