A Bioinspired Aerodynamically Enhanced Fog Collector for High-Efficiency Water Collection and Agricultural Irrigation

ME-SOFC array was integrated into a microirrigation system that harvested 2641.71 g of water in 2 h and enabled 100% mung bean sprouts to achieve a 100% germination rate within 3 days. This scalable bioinspired design provides a practical route toward high-efficiency fog harvesting for sustainable agricultural irrigation in water-limited, fog-rich environments.

Abstract

ME-SOFC array was integrated into a microirrigation system that harvested 2641.71 g of water in 2 h and enabled 100% mung bean sprouts to achieve a 100% germination rate within 3 days. This scalable bioinspired design provides a practical route toward high-efficiency fog harvesting for sustainable agricultural irrigation in water-limited, fog-rich environments.
