主 题:interfacial precise topology
摘 要:CONSPECTUS:The remarkable advances in technical and industrial fields have stimulated the world’s economic prosperity and population growth while also exacerbating the global water,thermal,and energy *** mitigate these crises,numerous large-scale devices have been constructed to harvest water,dissipate heat,and generate energy,yet they still encounter several bottlenecks,such as bulky size and climatic and/or geographic *** contrast,miniature and portable water-based devices have demonstrated their tremendous potential in water harvesting and thermal/energy management due to the ubiquitous existence,large phase-change latent heat,and abundant kinetic energy of *** to the strong dependence of their performance on the interfacial interactions between water and a surface,designing novel surface topology,in both physical and chemical aspects,is of practical importance to impart them with the ability to control the interfacial interaction/exchange among water,heat,and energy in an efficient,precise,and programmable manner.
