Booming progress in the materials science offers a huge choice of novel porous solids which may be used for adsorption transformation of low temperature heat. This communication gives an overview of original and literature data on several classes of materials potentially promising for this important application, namely, metalaluminophosphates (AlPOs, SAPOs, MeAPOs), metal-organic frameworks (MIL, ISE, etc.), ordered porous solids (MCM, SBA, etc.), porous carbons and various composites (SWSs, AlPO-Al foil). For the SWS composites, we briefly considered the recent trends in their developing, namely, usage of host matrices with uniform pore dimensions and binary salt systems. We hope that this review will give new impulses to target-oriented research on the novel adsorbents for AHT and may also be beneficial for further consolidating international activities in materials science and heat transformation applications.
