“…Directional liquid transport is of vital importance in both of scientific researches and practical applications, such as microfluidics, − enhanced heat transfer, , fog/water delivery and collection, − and water/oil separation. − To achieve spontaneous, directional, and long-distance liquid transport, great efforts have been devoted, e.g., magnetic control, , electric field guidance, − and reaction activation . However, most of these methods highly depend on external energy input, which are not favorable in modern society with energy shortage.…”
