This paper reports a fast, flexible, and efficient method for processing switchable bubble wettability copper surfaces using spatial light modulated femtosecond laser sputtering and ablation, which significantly increases processing efficiency. The laser-treated copper mesh surfaces exhibit reversible switching between underwater (super-)aerophilicity and superaerophobicity, allowing for control over bubble passage or blockage. The underwater superaerophobic characteristic of the prepared copper mesh was demonstrated for gas collection, with the gas intrusion pressure studied theoretically and experimentally.
With the development of energy exploitation and drug researching, people pay more attention on underwater gas collection. Switchable bubble wettability surfaces play an important role in these areas. In this paper, a fast, flexible and efficient switchable bubble wettability copper surface processing method is reported. It is using spatial light modulated femtosecond laser sputtering and ablation, and its processing efficiency has increased several times. The laser treated copper mesh surfaces not only show reversible switching ability between underwater (super-)aerophilicity and superaerophobicity, but also can be cycled many time. Therefore, the asprepared surface can control bubbles to pass through or block by switching wetting property. Finally, we demonstrated the underwater superaerophobic characteristic of the as-prepared copper mesh was used for gas collection and the gas intrusion pressure of the prepared copper mesh was studied theoretically and experimentally.
