Three-Dimensional Superhydrophobic Nanowire Networks for Enhancing Condensation Heat Transfer
TL;DR: In this article, a stable and efficient jumping droplet condensation on a superhydrophobic surface with three-dimensional (3D) copper nanowire networks was demonstrated for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hierarchical Superhydrophobic Surfaces with Micropatterned Nanowire Arrays for High-Efficiency Jumping Droplet Condensation.
TL;DR: This work presents a novel strategy to manipulate droplet behaviors during the process from the droplet nucleation to growth and departure through a combination of spatially controlling initial nucleation for mobile droplets by closely spaced nanowires and promoting the spontaneous outward movement of droplets for rapid removal using micropatterned nanowire arrays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Capillary-driven liquid film boiling heat transfer on hybrid mesh wicking structures
TL;DR: In this paper, a cost-effective hybrid mesh wicking structure is presented to enable a novel capillary-driven liquid film boiling heat transfer by simultaneously improving liquid supply and increasing nucleation sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thin Flexible Thermal Ground Planes: Fabrication and Scaling Characterization
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed flexible thermal ground planes (TGPs) with an ultra-thin thickness of 0.5 mm using copper-cladded polyimide as the encasing material, woven copper mesh as a wick, and electroplated copper pillars to support a vapor core.

TL;DR: In this paper, a superhydrophobic hierarchical mesh-covered (hi-mesh) surface is presented to enable continuous sucking flow of liquid condensate, which achieves fourfold higher droplet growth and 368% faster surface refreshing compared to the state-of-the-art dropwise condensation.
