Hierarchically Branched Siloxane Brushes for Efficient Harvesting of Atmospheric Water (Small 37/2023)
Source abstract
Abstract
Branched Siloxane Brushes In article number 2301561, King Lun Yeung and co-workers develop a flexible and hierarchically branched siloxane brushes by repeated grafting of siloxane on TiO2 nanorods. The flexible siloxane facilitates water nucleation, while the branched structure promotes efficient droplet jumping. The as-prepared surface displays a significant improvement in water harvesting at both high and low humidity conditions, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
