Surface energy and roughness are well-known to be the two key factors for fabricating
surfaces with superhydrophilicity or superwettability, and thousands of outstanding
achievements have been reported on the basis of these two aspects in recent decades.
However, for the physical chemistry community, it is still a challenge for making man-made
superhydrophilic surface with universal and easy operating. Here, we describe the
development of fluorine-induced superhydrophilicity (FIS) method to fabricate …
