Extracting ubiquitous atmospheric water is a sustainable strategy to enable decentralized access to safely managed water but remains challenging due to its limited daily water output at low relative humidity (≤30% RH). Here, we report super hygroscopic polymer films (SHPFs) composed of renewable biomasses and hygroscopic salt, exhibiting high water uptake of 0.64-0.96 g g<sup>-1</sup> at 15-30% RH. Konjac glucomannan facilitates the highly porous structures with enlarged air-polymer interfaces f ...[more]
