Figure 4

(A) Schematic representation of the procedure for fabricating the luminescent and superhydrophobic film composed of AuNPs/silicananocomposites. (B, C) Photographs of the assembled superhydrophobic AuNPs/silica film taken under daylight (B) and UV light (365 nm, C), respectively. (D, E) Low and high magnification SEM images of superhydrophobic AuNPs/silica film. (F) Profile of a water droplet (8 µL) on the AuNPs/silica film. (G, H) Photographs of water drops (dyed by trypan blue) on the hygroscopic paper before (G) and after (H) the modification with AuNPs/silica nanocomposites. See Figure S7 in the Supporting Information for the same figure with color.
