Abstract: Safe and affordable drinking water is an important and basic indicator of sustainability. Its availability at the point of use can save over 2 million human lives every year and prevent over 2 billion diarrheal diseases. Here, we propose a passive and compact nanosilver-enabled composite system for point-of-use drinking water treatment that can provide around 10 liters of clean water in 1 hour for just $ 2.5 per year per family.
