Slippery liquid-infused porous surface (SLIPS) has attracted increasing interest in anti-icing,
anti-corrosion, anti-fouling, and surface omniphobicity, in view of its superior stability and …

Inspired by the superhydrophobic properties of some plants and animals with special
structures, such as self-cleaning, water repellent, and drag reduction, the research on the …

Frost accumulation significantly reduces the heat transfer efficiency of air source heat pump
(ASHP) during winter operation, making frost suppression and defrosting critical issues that …

The condensation and freezing processes of fin-and-tube heat exchangers with a bare
surface and coated with a superhydrophobic substance were experimentally studied for …

Unidirectional and long-distance liquid transport is critically important to a range of practical
applications, eg, water harvesting, microfluidics, and chemical reactions. Great efforts have …

Condensation heat transfer at superhydrophobic surfaces has raised a lot of interest due to
their potential application in atmospheric water harvesting and air-conditioning. In moist air …

Typical spontaneous movement behaviors of condensate droplets include coalescence-
induced jum**, gravity-driven sliding, and directional migration by wettability gradient …

The cooling capacity of a radiant ceiling panel (RCP) is highly limited in hot and humid
climates as the panel surface temperature must be controlled higher than the air dew point …

The icing of glass insulators is likely to cause faults such as insulator flashover, which poses
a serious threat to the power system. Traditional deicing techniques have the disadvantage …

A novel ceramic composite membrane configuration was proposed to improve the waste
