Water adsorption by using nanoporous materials is a viable alternative to energy‐intensive industrial processes, thus understanding their porosity, surface areas, pore volumes, and chemical and structural features relative to water adsorption is important (see figure). In their Minireview article on page 10262 ff., Coskun et al. present important features of nanoporous materials, including zeolites, porous carbons, as well as crystalline and amorphous porous organic polymers (POPs) to define the interactions between the water molecules and the polar/non‐polar functional groups on the surface.
