Abstract

Abstract Condensed microdrops self-jumping (CMSJ) surfaces with specific nanostructure have been actively explored to promote favorable droplet dynamics for enhancement of condensation heat transfer efficiency. However, the CMSJ surfaces based on the glass itself are insufficient in the past, although it is significant in daily life and industry processes. Here, we report condensed microdrops with size of 20–30 μm could continuously self-jumping on the superhydrophobic glass slide with flake-like nanostructures and over 75% of dewdrops were maintained their diameter below 20 μm after condensed 1000 s. This work is expected to provide unique advantages in condensation heat transfer for enlargement of application of glass in various fields.
