“…Electrochemical deposition allows the 1 3 synthesis of micro/nanostructures with specific morphologies (such as nanorods, nanotubes, nanospheres, nanosheets) [25,26]. The electrodeposition fabrication process can be divided into three groupings: no template [27,28], soft template [29,30] and hard template [31].…”

Due to their tiny size, autonomous motion and functionalize modifications, micro/nanomotors have shown great potential for environmental remediation, biomedicine and micro/nano-engineering. One-dimensional (1D) micro/nanomotors combine the characteristics of anisotropy and large aspect ratio of 1D materials with the advantages of functionalization and autonomous motion of micro/nanomotors for revolutionary applications. In this review, we discuss current research progress on 1D micro/nanomotors, including the fabrication methods, driving mechanisms, and recent advances in environmental remediation and biomedical applications, as well as discuss current challenges and possible solutions. With continuous attention and innovation, the advancement of 1D micro/nanomotors will pave the way for the continued development of the micro/nanomotor field.

In this original work, we wanted to prepare surfaces with both high hydrophobicity and strong water adhesion, as observed on rose petals or gecko foot. The surfaces are prepared by electropolymerization and using thieno [3,4-b]thiophene monomers with various branched alkyl chains. It is observed a change from structured to smooth when the branched alkyl chain length increases. Using short branched alkyl chains, the surfaces are mainly composed of wrinkles and nanoparticles displaying high hydrophobicity (w up to 134.9°) combined with strong water adhesion, as observed on rose petals. Indeed, dynamic contact angle measurements show that the real water adhesion can be very different even if apparent contact angle is the same. By adding H2O in the solvent (CH2Cl2 + H2O), it is possible to release gas bubbles (H2 and/or O2) in-situ leading to more porous surfaces but here it is observed an increase in surface hydrophilicity. These original polymer surfaces have potential applications in water harvesting systems or oil/water separation membranes, for example.

The bioinspiration is one of the best ways to make a breakthrough in a field, and particularly in the wetting properties. Bioinspired by natural species such as rose petals and gecko foot and previous researches, nanotubular structures are prepared here by soft-template electropolymerization in organic solvent and using an original benzotrithiophene with a hydrophilic carboxyl group, as the monomer. The best results are obtained by cyclic voltammetry because of a much higher amount of gas bubbles released with this deposition method. Both nanoparticles and nanotubes are observed while the water content has an influence on the number of nanotubes. Even if the monomer has hydrophilic carboxyl group, the best films have both high hydrophobicity (apparent water contact angle up to 130.7°) and strong water adhesion (petal effect). These surfaces could be used in the future in applications such as water harvesting systems.
