“…Hydrophilic active sites (functional groups) are linked to the backbone of polymeric molded hydrogels to absorb atmospheric water, and community chain cross‐hyperlinks give them their ability to resist disintegration. Many artificial and evolving materials fit the concept of hydrogels 96–98.…”

“…Several chemical methods have been applied to create hydrogels. The methods are one‐step polymerization and parallel crosslinking of monomers having multifunctional reactions with appropriate crosslinkers, as well as a multistep process relating the development of reactive polymer molecules and their succeeding crosslinking 96. The creation of a polymer with molecular‐scale form control, crosslinking density, and custom qualities such as biodegradation, mechanical strength, and chemical and organic response to stimuli can be done by a polymer engineer 99, 100.…”

Atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) is an important parallel or supplemental freshwater production technique to liquid water resource‐based technologies due to the availability of moisture resources regardless of location and the possibility of realizing decentralized applications. Recent developments to regulate the characteristic features and nanostructures of moisture‐harvesting materials demonstrate new opportunities to improve device efficiency. Focusing on the design of water harvesting materials and the optimization of the overall system, this review sums up the most recent developments in this area and presents prospects for the future development of AWH. An overview of the processes involved in water sorption by various sorbents and the characteristics and functionality of the polyaniline‐based hydrogels developed for AWH is given. Newly reported hydrogel sorbents used for AWH are evaluated, focusing on their benefits, drawbacks, and design methodologies. Several AWH‐specific water harvesters are described and the impact of the system's mass and heat transfer on its operational effectiveness is explored. Finally, potential roadmaps for the development of this technology are detailed and the challenges in this subject from both a basic research and practical application perspective are discussed.
