Abstract:Incorporation of micro- and nanostructures on metals can improve thermal performance in a variety of applications. In this work, we demonstrate two independent highly scalable and cost-effective methods to generate micro- and nanostructures on copper and stainless steel, two widely used metals in energy and thermal applications. The performance of the developed structures, fabricated using scalable chemical etching techniques, is compared against their respective base metals. Our results demonstrate significan… Show more
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.
