Fabrication of superhydrophobic copper metal nanowire surfaces with high thermal conductivity

Anodization fabrication techniques and energy-related applications for nanostructured anodic films on transition metals

“…As indicated above, numerous research efforts have focused on tuning the nanostructure and function of copper oxide-based materials by anodization, which has led to the discovery of many fascinating properties and applications. In addition to the PEC and supercapacitor applications commonly encountered, copper oxide-based materials have found applications in sensors [43,109,119,127,128] , pH-controllable water permeation [93] , superhydrophobic anticorrosion coatings [94,95,129] , oil/water separation [122] and surface-enhanced Raman scattering substrates [108] .…”

A rhodamine B‐based colorimetric chemosensor for sensitive and selective detection of Cu2+: Test strip analysis and density functional theory

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Among the heavy metals, copper is broadly utilised in contemporary industrial fields because of its various efficient properties, such as erosion resistance, thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity. [8][9][10][11] Consequently, excess copper ions accumulate in our surrounding environment, with critical effects on humans. For instance, excess ingests of copper can result in neurodegenerative disorders such as Menkes disease, Alzheimer's disease, Wilson's disease and prion disease.…”

“…The development of effective and selective chemical sensors to detect various heavy and transition metal ions is of huge significance because of their central roles in the environment, medicine and organisms 1–7 . Among the heavy metals, copper is broadly utilised in contemporary industrial fields because of its various efficient properties, such as erosion resistance, thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity 8–11 . Consequently, excess copper ions accumulate in our surrounding environment, with critical effects on humans.…”

Study on Preparation of Superhydrophobic Surface by Selective Laser Melting and Corrosion Resistance

“…In nature, many animal and plant surfaces have excellent superhydrophobic properties, such as lotus leaves, rose petals, water strider feet, beetle epidermis, butterfly wings, etc. [4][5][6][7] Due to the development of bionics, the phenomenon of superhydrophobicity has received widespread attention and has gradually become a research hotspot [8][9][10][11]. On the one hand, people continue to explore the relationship between the microstructure and the wetting characteristics of superhydrophobic surfaces and establish basic wetting models [12][13][14]; on the other hand, with the continuous deepening of research, researchers are no longer limited to the pursuit of high hydrophobicity of superhydrophobic surfaces, and they hope to achieve low-cost preparation and efficacy persistence of superhydrophobic surfaces by constructing specific wetting models and obtaining new preparation methods [15].…”
