This sort of thing can't work as it would break basic laws of thermodynamics. Best case it's a dehumidifier with extra steps.

Why would it break the laws? Per the article it uses the heat from sunlight to do some of its work, it's not some kind of magic fabric.
The thermodynamic issue is not that there's not enough energy, it's that the heat output has nowhere to go.
So a dehumidifier with extra steps.
"extra steps" meaning wearable dehumidifier. Are there other wearable dehumidifiers to produce drinking water? I don't think so.
A reductive assessment (to a specific feature) of a novel idea, does not make it less interesting.
