Superhydrophobicity-Enabled Efficient Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction at a High Temperature

open access: yes, 2023
Enhancing the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) by a temperature increase is very attractive, but lower CO2 solubility and the more intense competitive hydrogen evolution reaction limit the practical implementation.

Toward an experimental proof of superhydrophobicity enhanced by quantum fluctuations freezing on a broadband-absorber metamaterial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Previous theoretical works suggested that superhydrophobicity could be enhanced through partial inhibition of the quantum vacuum modes at the surface of a broadband-absorber metamaterial which acts in the extreme ultraviolet frequency domain. This effect

Superhydrophobic Blood‐Repellent Surfaces [PDF]

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, 2018
AbstractSuperhydrophobic surfaces repel water and, in some cases, other liquids as well. The repellency is caused by topographical features at the nano‐/microscale and low surface energy. Blood is a challenging liquid to repel due to its high propensity for activation of intrinsic hemostatic mechanisms, induction of coagulation, and platelet activation
