Over the past decade, there have been many successful attempts at artificially reproducing
the surface structures found on natural superhydrophobic surfaces. The researchers have …

Nature has endowed many of its living systems with functional structures with highly tuned
wettability. Inspired by nature, scientists began to mimic these natural templates and as a …

Selectively regulating active factors in photocatalytic reactions by designing materials is one
of the very important factors. Herein, we prepared spindle-like core-shell Ag@ NH 2-MIL …

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are useful for harvesting clean and widely distributed
water droplet energy with high efficiency. However, the commonly used polymer films in …

In this paper, we describe a simple, cost effective, fast, scalable and sustainable method for
fabrication of mechanically durable superhydrophobic (SHP) surface of titanium by a rapid …

Oil leakage and discharge of organic wastewater have not only threatened the ecosystem,
but also greatly aggravated water scarcity. Efficient separation of oil–water mixture has …

The mechanical durability of superhydrophobic surfaces is of significance for their practical
applications. However, few reports about superhydrophobic coating on certain substrates …

Biomimetic superhydrophobic surfaces with excellent self-cleaning, antifouling and
anticorrosion properties often suffer from mechanical damage and stop functioning when …

The use of nanomaterials in textiles provides many new opportunities and advantages for
users and manufacturers; however, it comes with some of its downsides and challenges …

As research on superhydrophobic materials inspired by the self-cleaning and water-
repellent properties of plants and animals in nature continues, the superhydrophobic …
