Fig. 4. Self-removal mechanism of CNF coating.

Fig. 4

(A) Working principle of superhydrophobic coating, promoting self-removal of droplets. Top right: SEM image of the CNF coating, verifying the hierarchical micro-/nanostructure. Bottom right: Long exposure image of coalescence-induced jumping, showing traces of detached droplets. (B) Dew mass flux rate of condensation coating (mean: 28.6 g m−2 hour−1; N = 9). Gray area represents SD. (C) Twelve-hour durability test of CNF coating (mean: 28.1 g m−2 hour−1; N = 2).
