Bioinspired cone structures with helical micro-grooves for fast liquid transport and efficient fog collection

Abstract: Cactus spine with grooved cone structure provides an ideal model for designs capable of transporting liquid directionally. Inspired by the cactus spine, a lot of artificial liquid transporting systems have...

“…31 Asymmetric geometric shape, including cone, triangle, and V-shape groove, is applicable to long-distance, continuous, and high flux fluid transport, originating from the considerable fluid holding ability and directional capillary force on the macroscopic interfaces. 32–34 Moreover, the ratio integration of different types of the fluid-manipulating interface can offer a powerful tool to deal with complicated situations of fluid control, which have been demonstrated as the examples of fog collection, 35–39 multi-bioinspired vapor condenser, 40 and Janus triangle electrodes array for electrolysis. 5…”

“…In recent years, research attention has turned to nature to design fog collectors by mimicking the way some natural organisms capture fogwater. 10−12 There are many organisms in nature that exhibit interesting water harvesting abilities, such as the Namib Desert Beetle, 13,14 cacti, 15,16 and spiders. 17,18 Beetles living in the Namib Desert have a special structure on their backs, which consists of a series of hydrophilic projections distributed on a superhydrophobic surface.…”

“…Nature is a treasure trove of human development and may bring unexpected inspiration. The excellent water-collection properties of some natural organisms have attracted widespread attention, such as desert beetles, cactus, pitcher plants, and so on. Recently, biomimetic materials with superwettability have been gradually used for fog collection.…”
