Extreme Water Uptake of Hygroscopic Hydrogels through Maximized Swelling-Induced Salt Loading

Gustav Graeber et al.

Summary: This study characterized the swelling dynamics of hydrogels in aqueous lithium chloride solutions, the implications on hydrogel salt loading, and the resulting vapor uptake of the synthesized hydrogel-salt composites. By tuning the salt concentration and the cross-linking properties of the gels, hygroscopic hydrogels with extremely high salt loadings were synthesized, enabling unprecedented water uptake at different relative humidities. These insights guide the design of hydrogels with exceptional hygroscopicity that can help tackle water scarcity and the global energy crisis.
