“…In the top-down approach, laser machining is an efficient and maskless microfabrication technique that allows the preparation of layered structures on a variety of materials to produce superhydrophobicity [ 143 , 144 , 145 ]. The most common lasers are nanosecond [ 146 ], picosecond [ 129 ], and femtosecond lasers [ 147 ].…”

Dust pollution presents a wide range of adverse effects to product functionalities and the quality of human life. For instance, when dust particles deposit on solar photovoltaic panels, sunlight absorption is significantly reduced, and solar-to-electrical energy conversion yield may be lowered by 51%- Conventional (manual) dust removal methods are costly, consume significant material resources, and cause irreparable damage to the solar glass surface. Therefore, it is critical to develop glass surfaces that can clean themselves or are easily cleaned by natural forces. Many approaches have been attempted to reduce dust deposition, such as developing superhydrophobic surfaces and preparing anti-static surfaces. This paper reviews the recent progress in studies of anti-dust and cleaning mechanisms or methodologies, which include investigation into micro- and nano-sized dust properties, dust deposition processes and adhesion mechanisms to surfaces, and the state-of-the-art approaches to anti-dust and easy-cleaning functions that tailor surface micro-/nanotextures, lowering surface energy via nanocoatings, and enhancing anti-static properties with nanomaterials. We compare the advantages and disadvantages of various approaches and discuss the research prospects. We envision that future research will be focused on developing transparent surfaces with multiple dust-proof functions to cope with dust-burdening operating environments.

“…Another approach includes the preparation of patterned surfaces followed by the formation of mixed SAMs. Patterned surfaces are formed by the applications of masks, nanoparticles (NPs), nanolithography, or laser [37]. Nano-patterned gold NPs (10-100 nm) are easily deposited by electrochemical methods [38].…”

Introduction: Rapid transmission of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has affected the whole world and forced it to a halt (lockdown). A fast and label-free detection method for the novel coronavirus needs to be developed along with the existing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-based methods. Areas covered: In this report, biophysical aspects of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike glycoprotein are outlined based on its recent reported electron microscopy structure. Protein binding sites are analyzed theoretically, which consisted of hydrophobic and positive charged amino acid residues. Different strategies to form mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of hydrophobic (CH 3) and negatively charged (COOH) groups are discussed to be used for the specific and strong interactions with spike protein. Bio-interfacial interactions between the spike protein and device (sensor) surface and its implications toward designing suitable engineered surfaces are summarized. Expert opinion: Implementation of the engineered surfaces in quartz crystal microbalance (QCM)based detection techniques for the diagnosis of the novel coronavirus from oral swab samples is highlighted. The proposed strategy can be explored for the label-free and real-time detection with sensitivity up to ng level. These engineered surfaces can be reused after desorption.

“…Enlightened by this interesting structure, various (super)hydrophilic/(super)hydrophobic patterned surfaces have been constructed. − Typically, Bai et al constructed a pattern-controllable surface for water collection by selective UV-irradiation decomposition of superhydrophobic fluorinated alkylsilane on a superhydrophilic TiO 2 surface with a photomask. Xu and co-workers prepared superhydrophilic/superhydrophobic cellulose films by depositing Ag and TiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) followed by selective hydrophobic modification, which displayed high water collection performance and antibacterial behavior.…”

Recent focuses in atmospheric water harvesting technology have moved to developing superwettable surfaces; however, optimizing the trade-off between fog capture and water transport remains difficult. Here, considering the positive effect of porous structures on water absorbance, we propose, for the first time, the use of mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNs) and Ag nanoparticles (NPs) in constructing hybrid surfaces. Moreover, a selectively hydrophobic modification of Ag domains endows superhydrophilic/superhydrophobic patterns. Notably, in contrast to patterned surfaces completely constructed with smooth NPs, the porous architecture-containing surfaces display fast droplet removal and high dripping frequency. Under a moderate ratio between the superhydrophilic porous domain and superhydrophobic smooth domain, the water collection efficiency can achieve 1079.73 mg cm −2 h −1 , and long-term stable collection performance is realized for at least 15 cycles. The surface design paves the foundation for fabricating high-performance water collection materials.
