Patterned Hybrid Wettability Surfaces for Fog Harvesting

Ying Guo et al.

Summary: The scarcity of fresh water resources has become increasingly serious, and the ability of animals and plants in arid areas to collect water from moisture and fog has gained attention. Inspired by natural organisms, a composite membrane with a concave-convex morphology and hybrid wettability was prepared for efficient fog harvesting. The fog harvesting process consists of condensation, coalescence, and rapid transportation of water droplets. Under optimal conditions, the fog harvesting efficiencies were 40.3 and 74.2 mg·cm-2·min-1 for fog yields of 0.05 and 0.1 L·min-1, respectively. This work provides an alternative strategy for addressing the shortage of fresh water resources.

Multibioinspired Design of a Durable Janus Copper Foam with Asymmetric and Cooperative Alternating Wettability for Efficient Fog Harvesting

Chenxi Yang et al.

Summary: Due to water deficiency in deserts and inland areas, fog harvesting technologies have been developed to solve the shortage of freshwater resources. However, the weak capture ability, water transport, UV resistance, and mechanical damage resistance of fog harvest materials have been obstacles. In this study, a Janus fog harvest copper foam (CF) was synthesized with a coating of polydopamine (PDA)-like composition (tannic acid-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, TA-APTES) and hydrophobic materials (polydimethylsiloxane, PDMS, with tetrapod-shaped ZnO). The Janus CF exhibited asymmetric and cooperative alternating wettability, leading to faster fog harvest. It also showed excellent mechanical durability and UV resistance. The fog harvesting rate of the Janus CF was 1.70 g cm-2 h-1, demonstrating its efficiency in fog water collection.

The innovative approach, combining easy manufacturing and low cost, improves efficiency by threefold compared to single-scale structures, providing a useful tool for fog water collection in production and living environments.

Programmable dynamic interfacial spinning of bioinspired microfibers with volumetric encoding†

Ming Zhang et al.

Summary: This study introduces a new method for producing volume-encoded microfibers with superior encoding capacity and reliability, suitable for information storage and encryption. The morphology of the microfibers can be controlled by adjusting the flow rates of different fluids and the vibration parameters of the spinning nozzle. Volume-encoded microfibers can also be used for simulating intravascular drug delivery.
