Hydrogen (H 2) is currently considered a clean fuel to decrease anthropogenic greenhouse
gas emissions and will play a vital role in climate change mitigation. Nevertheless, one of …

Marine biofouling has negatively affected human sailing since ancient times. Traditional
antifouling coatings were banned worldwide in 2003 due to their toxicity towards nontarget …

Colloidal self-assembly refers to a solution-processed assembly of nanometer-/micrometer-
sized, well-dispersed particles into secondary structures, whose collective properties are …

Engineering of the interface between perovskite absorber thin films and charge transport
layers has fueled the development of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) over the past decade. For …

Wetting, the process of water interacting with a surface, is critical in our everyday lives and in
many biological and technological systems. The contact angle is the angle at the interface …

Membrane distillation (MD) is a rapidly emerging water treatment technology; however,
membrane pore wetting is a primary barrier to widespread industrial use of MD. The primary …

Since superwetting surfaces have emerged, on‐demand oil/water separation materials
serve as a new direction for meeting practical needs. This new separation mode uses a …

Food waste is a serious problem in our modern era, causing economic loss and
exacerbating issues like hunger, environmental pollution, and water shortage. Residual food …

Marine fouling is one of the major challenges facing humanity in marine industrial
production and transport activities. Traditional antifouling coatings use toxic antifouling …

Hydrophobic membranes used in membrane distillation (MD) systems are often subject to
wetting during long-term operation. Thus, it is of great importance to fully understand factors …
