Dropwise Condensate Comb for Enhanced Heat Transfer

Yu Tang et al.

Summary: A dropwise condensate comb with U-shaped protruding hydrophilic stripes and hierarchical micro-nanostructured superhydrophobic background was introduced to control the size and departure processes of condensation droplets. The experiment showed that the heat transfer coefficient and heat flux could be significantly enhanced by spatial control of condensation droplet size and departure processes. This work has the potential to transform the design and fabrication space for high-performance heat transfer devices.

Ultraslippery/hydrophilic patterned surfaces for efficient fog harvest

Biao Qi et al.

Summary: This study reported the fabrication of hydrophilic patterned SLIPS on copper substrates that can achieve efficient droplet transport and fog harvest. The hydrophilic patterned SLIPS with superhydrophilic stripe array showed remarkable anisotropy in contact angle hysteresis in the parallel and perpendicular directions, which can be used for rapid and precise droplet transport.

Design of a Venation-like Patterned Surface with Hybrid Wettability for Highly Efficient Fog Harvesting

Jie Guo et al.

Summary: Inspired by the Namib Desert beetle and leaf venation, a wettability-integrated system with hybrid coatings and venation-like patterns was designed and fabricated. The surface can create a 3D topography with a water layer and efficiently drain through the venation-like patterns, significantly enhancing fog harvesting ability. The synergistic mechanisms of fog harvesting enhancement by a wettability-integrated surface were further studied and discussed.

Wetting Ridge-Guided Directional Water Self-Transport

Lingxiao Wang et al.

Summary: This study proposes a lubricant-infused heterogeneous superwettability surface (LIHSS) for directional water self-transport. By tuning the parameters of femtosecond laser, the wettability of the material surface can be changed. The experimental results show that this strategy can achieve a longer droplet self-driving distance and enable water self-transport, anti-gravity pumping, and chemical reactions on a tilted surface.

Facile fabrication of hierarchical textures for substrate-independent and durable superhydrophobic surfaces

Yuchun He et al.

Summary: In this study, a simple method to achieve superhydrophobicity on various substrate surfaces is proposed. By using femtosecond laser direct processing, grooves and protrusions are constructed on substrates to form a protective layer, followed by scanning with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) to achieve superhydrophobicity. This method can achieve robust superhydrophobic surfaces with excellent anti-friction performance on different substrates.

Large-area surface wettability patterning of metal alloys via a maskless laser-assisted functionalization method

Avik Samanta et al.

Summary: An innovative laser-assisted functionalization method is proposed to fabricate a superhydrophobic-superhydrophilic patterned surface on a large-area metal alloy, with two different strategies demonstrated. Adjusting laser parameters allows for surface topography patterning and anti-reflection surface properties to be achieved. This method decouples extreme wettability from surface topography, showing simplicity, robustness, and feasibility.

Solar-driven thermal-wind synergistic effect on laser-textured superhydrophilic copper foam architectures for ultrahigh efficient vapor generation

Kai Yin et al.

Summary: Solar-driven vapor generation is enhanced by combining thermal and wind effects on a superhydrophilic copper foam surface, increasing the rate of water evaporation. The treated surface absorbs significant solar power which can be converted into heat for steam generation, while a pre-wetted sponge minimizes heat loss and helps maintain high evaporation rates.

Wettability Contrast in the Hexagonally Patterned Gold Substrate of Distinct Morphologies for Enhanced Fog Harvesting

Brindhu S. Malani et al.

Summary: Inspired by the Stenocara beetle's surface properties, hexagonally patterned hydrophobic-hydrophilic surfaces were fabricated and shown to transition from hydrophilicity to hydrophobicity after surface functionalization. Surface functionalization with MHA/OTS resulted in the highest contact angle and least contact angle hysteresis. The patterned and functionalized substrates exhibited enhanced water collection rate for fog harvesting applications.
