A facile one-step electrodeposition method was used to fabricate a hierarchical papillae-covered SHPS on an Al substrate with enhanced corrosion resistance (corrosion inhibition efficiency ~99.96%) and lotus-like self-cleaning effect.
Superhydrophobic surface was successfully fabricated via a facile, low-cost one-step electrodeposition approach on aluminum substrate with excellent anticorrosion and self-cleaning properties.
Endowing metallic surfaces with special
wettability and unique
interfacial contacts broadens their wide application fields. Herein,
superhydrophobic and lubricant-infused ultraslippery surfaces were
achieved through chemical etching, low surface energy molecule grafting,
and lubricant infusion. Systematic comparison studies of the surface
wettability, self-cleaning, anti-icing, anticorrosion behaviors, and
mechanical durability were carried out to reveal the functional differences
and mechanisms. Both superhydrophobic and ultraslippery surfaces exhibit
a distinct decrease in ice adhesion strength and a remarkable increase
in charge-transfer resistance, demonstrating significantly improved
ice overdelay and corrosion-resisting performance. Most notably, given
the existence of a stable, defect-free, and inert lubricant-infused
layer, the lubricant-infused ultraslippery surfaces possess superior
mechanical robustness and long-term corrosion resistance, which provides
better application potential under challenging service environments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
