Superhydrophobic surfaces: from fluid mechanics to optics

open access: yes
In this thesis optical diraction was used to study the static and dynamic properties of microscopic liquid-gas interfaces that span between adjacent ridges of a superhydrophobic surface. An observed interference phenomenon at grazing incident angle led to the development of optical gratings with a large spectral bandwidth, and an observed sensitive ...

Droplet friction on superhydrophobic surfaces

open access: yesDroplet, EarlyView.
By developing an experimental setup that simultaneously measures the friction force, macroscopic shape profile, and the macro‐ and microscopic contact line dynamics of a laterally sliding droplet, this study establishes an analytical model that predicts droplet friction on pillared superhydrophobic surfaces relying only on surface geometrical ...

Recent advances in boosting interfacial bubble dynamics with external fields

open access: yesDroplet, EarlyView.
External physical fields, including acoustic, magnetic, thermal, mechanical, and optical stimuli, accelerate the entire bubble‐dynamics sequence of nucleation, growth, and detachment. Abstract The efficiency of industrial electrocatalytic reactions depends not only on generating gaseous products but also on their detachment from the catalyst surface ...

Numerical study flow and heat transfer characteristics of superhydrophobic single tube bundle surface and wake flow

open access: yesMeasurement + Control
Regarding the design optimization of the heat exchanger, the traditional method of changing the size of the macroscopic structure can no longer meet the increasing demand for heat exchange performance.

Electrode structures of solid–liquid interface‐based triboelectric nanogenerators and their applications

open access: yesDroplet, EarlyView.
In this review, we have summarized the working principles and equivalent circuit diagrams of solid‐liquid interface triboelectric nanogenerators with different electrode structures, as well as the applications of devices with such structures in droplet mechanical energy harvesting and self‐powered sensing of liquid samples, along with their respective ...

Evolution of the water cluster in pore condensation

open access: yesDroplet, EarlyView.
In pore condensation, lower contact angles reduce molecular displacement (60%) and potential energy (10%), enhancing vapor capture tenfold. Pores restrict water molecule mobility, promoting condensation. On hydrophobic surfaces (124∘$^\circ$), pores stabilize embryos, ensuring uniform condensation within pores, boosting nucleation efficiency.
