Abstract
. Compared with single-network-structured hydrogels, the reported system exhibited an enhancement of 434% in its water collection efficiency. Under natural light, it desorbed more than 80% of the adsorbed water in 3-4 h. In summary, the dual-network-structured hydrogel microspheres represent a promising material for atmospheric water collection.
