“…Femtosecond laser fabrication technique has been demonstrated to find application in surface wetting control and infrared enhanced transmission due to the fabricated micronano-strucrutes on the surface [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] . We utilized the high energy intensity of laser to ablate PDMS in order to make micro-nano structures on it.…”

Triboelectric nanogenerator(TENG) can convert mechanical energy to electrical energy through contact electrification and electrostatic induction. Single-friction-surface triboelectric nanogenerator(STENG) extends potential application because a finger can be used as one friction surface in the contact electrification. In this work, a fully flexible STENG has been made, consisting of polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) with micro-nano structures on its observe side and a flexible electrode on its reverse side. The femtosecond laser ablation was introduced to make micro-nano structures on PDMS and Ag nanowires(Ag NWs) were embedded in PDMS to serve as flexible induction electrode. It has been demonstrated that the energy conversion efficiency increases greatly because of the existing micro-nano structures on PDMS. Further, the mechanism of STENG was proved. Owing to the fully flexible characteristics in both the electrode and PDMS, STENG works well when it is adhered on any subject, for example, on clothes by tape.

“…For example, ZnS conical pillar arrays using maskless laser interference ablation enhanced the transmission at infrared wavelength, over 92% at normal incidence. 107 Recently, GaOOH nanopillars were synthesized on III-V InGaP/GaAs/Ge triple junction solar cell by an electrochemical deposition method, showing a good antireflective performance for a wide wavelength range of 300-1800 nm, with an efficiency enhancement by 3.47% compared to the bare solar cell. 108 Construction of AR coatings on the substrates is aimed to reduce the reflection and improve the transmission or absorption of light, thus enhancing the performance of the optical, optoelectronic, and electro-optical devices, such as glasses, mirrors, camera lens, solar cells, LEDs, photodetectors, surface-emitting lasers, flat panel display, optical sensing and imaging, and laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry.…”

Reducing the reflection and improving the transmission or absorption of light from wide angles of incidence in a broad wavelength range are crucial for enhancing the performance of the optical, optoelectronic, and electro-optical devices. Inspired by the structures of the insect compound eyes, nanostructure arrays (NSAs) have been developed as effective antireflective surfaces, which exhibit promising broadband and quasi-omnidirectional antireflective properties together with multifunctions. This review summarizes the recent advances in the fabrication and performance of antireflective surfaces based on NSAs of a wide variety of materials including silicon and non-silicon materials. The applications of the NSA-based antireflective surfaces in solar cells, light emitting diodes, detection, and imaging are highlighted. The remaining challenges along with future trends in NSA-based antireflective surfaces are also discussed.

Functional periodic structures have attracted significant interest due to their natural capabilities in regulating surface energy, surface effective refractive index, and diffraction. Several technologies are used for the fabrication of these functional structures. The laser interference technique in particular has received attention because of its simplicity, low cost, and high-efficiency fabrication of large-area, micro/nanometer-scale, and periodically patterned structures in air conditions. Here, we reviewed the work on laser interference fabrication of large-area functional periodic structures for antireflection, self-cleaning, and superhydrophobicity based on our past and current research. For the common cases, four-beam interference and multi-exposure of two-beam interference were emphasized for their setup, structure diversity, and various applications for antireflection, self-cleaning, and superhydrophobicity. The relations between multi-beam interference and multi-exposure of two-beam interference were compared theoretically and experimentally. Nanostructures as a template for growing nanocrystals were also shown to present future possible applications in surface chemical control. Perspectives on future directions and applications for laser interference were presented.
