  • Super-adsorbing porous thermo-responsive desiccants
    Patent number: 11819823
    Abstract: Thermo-responsive hydrogel composite (TRHC) desiccants having high adsorption capacities, fast adsorption/desorption rates, and low regeneration temperatures (Treg) compared to traditional desiccants. TRHC desiccants may be synthesized by freeze drying. The porous structures resulting from freeze drying copolymers of thermo-responsive polymers and/or hygroscopic agents may be combined with hygroscopic inorganic salts, resulting in TRHC desiccants having superior performance properties.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 3, 2021
    Date of Patent: November 21, 2023
    Assignees: Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC, The Regents of the University of California
