Bionic Jaw-Like Micro One-Way Valve for Rapid and Long-Distance Water Droplet Unidirectional Spreading

Yang Liu et al.

Summary: Inspired by the jaws of tiny insects, researchers have developed a surface with novel jaw-like microstructures as micro one-way valves, enabling self-driven unidirectional spreading of liquid. These microstructures, which are almost two-dimensional, are simple and easy to fabricate. Surfaces with such micro one-way valves exhibit remarkable rapid and long-distance water droplet spreading behaviors, with a maximum forward-backward distance ratio of about 14.5, nearly double that of previous research. The capillary attraction at the location of the jaws and the pinning effect brought by the sharp edge of the jaws are identified as the main mechanisms.

Excellent Liquid Unidirectional Transport Inner Tilted-Sector Arrayed Tubes

Yihe Liu et al.

Summary: A tilted-sector arrayed tube is proposed for excellent liquid unidirectional transport, which applies to a vast width domain of liquid surface tension and injecting velocity. The transport direction is abnormally against the tilted direction of structure, in stark contrast to the traditional understanding. This excellent and unique liquid unidirectional transport is caused by synergistic effects of tilted sectors and tube structures, which induce a unique 3D liquid propagation mode as well as a large Laplace pressure asymmetry between the front and rear sides of the liquid.

Enhanced water transportation on a superhydrophilic serial cycloid-shaped pattern

Defeng Yan et al.

Summary: SDWT is an ideal water transportation method with potential applications in aerospace and ship fields. However, the existing SDWT suffers from slow water transportation velocity due to its geometry structure configuration. To overcome this limitation, a new superhydrophilic serial cycloid-shaped pattern (SSCP) was developed, inspired by the micro-cavity shape of the Nepenthes. Experimental results showed that water transportation velocity on the SSCP was faster than on the superhydrophilic serial wedge-shaped pattern (SSWP), and the SSCP exhibited superior capability in long-distance water transportation, gravity resistant water transportation, heat transfer, and fog collection.

Beetle and cactus-inspired surface endows continuous and directional droplet jumping for efficient water harvesting

Xikui Wang et al.

Summary: Efficient water harvesting from vapor has been explored by designing a novel hybrid wetting surface inspired by the morphology of desert beetles and cactus thorns. The surface mimics the bumpy back of desert beetles for enhanced water nucleation, while the wedge-shaped topography enables unconventional droplet jumping and long-range transport, effectively increasing water harvesting efficiency.
