“…However, the liquid-gas interfaces of the air pockets are subject to instabilities induced by various factors including vibration, 12 evaporation, [13][14][15] air diffusion, [16][17][18] pressurization, 19,20 geometrical parameters, 21,22 electrowetting 23,24 and impact, 25,26 leading to the fully-wetted Wenzel (W) state 27 and the failure of superhydrophobicity. The dynamic process of wetting transition from the CB to the W state has been captured by various techniques, such as light reflection, 16,18,[28][29][30] optical diffraction, 31,32 X-ray 33 and confocal microscopy. 17,[34][35][36][37][38] Understanding this phenomenon is critical for the regulation and improvement of CB-based superhydrophobicity and conducive to the design of underwater structured surfaces with enhanced lifetime.…”
