Damage Tolerance of Superhydrophobic Coatings with Binary Cooperative Cells for Water Harvesting (Small 13/2024)

Superhydrophobic Coatings In article number 2307561, Youfa Zhang and co-workers develop a binary cooperative cell design that eliminates the mutual exclusion between the features of functions and mechanical stability of superhydrophobic coatings. The coating is structurally strong and exhibits almost all aspects of enhancement including ultra-durability and over 1000% enhancement in water harvesting. From a broad perspective, the strategy provides a generic design blueprint for engineering ultra-durable coatings for a wide range of applications.
