AWH performance of TZMGs. (A) Schematic representation of the inverse mini-emulsion polymerization process, alongside SEM images and elemental mapping of as-prepared TZMG. (Scale bar: 50 μm.) (B) Water uptake of TZMGs at various RH levels. (C) Static water vapor sorption–desorption performance at different RH for TZMG-1.0. Sorption was conducted at 25 °C, while desorption took place at 60 °C. (D) Desorption curves for TZMG-1.0 at different temperatures. (E) Evaporation behavior of TZMGs and pure LiCl, hydrated with 1 g g⁻¹ water uptake. (F) Cycling performance of TZMG-1.0, with sorption conditions set at 60% RH and a desorption temperature of 60 °C. For all tests, desorption occurred at a consistent water vapor pressure of 3.17 kPa. (G) Comparison plots of desorption performance of TZMG-1.0 with reported salt-contained/gel-based evaporation-based materials (11, 12, 26, 30, 33, 40–49). The fuchsia and turquoise dots refer to the desorption performance of this work.
