摘要

A monolayer Janus copper mesh with a synergistic hydrophilic/hydrophobic surface was fabricated using surface spraying and nanolaser surface modification. The effects of mesh number, width, and an optimized sword-shaped tip on water collection efficiency, with visual recordings capturing the movement process. Results indicate that the synergistic hydrophilic/hydrophobic zone design markedly enhances water collection efficiency, achieving over a 30% improvement for the 120-mesh and over 70% for the 200-mesh compared to a fully hydrophilic surface. The 1 mm/1 mm hydrophilic/hydrophobic zone width combination was most effective, boosting water collection efficiency by 61% to 4,687.5 mg/cm2/h for the 120-mesh. Additionally, a 4-mm tip increased single droplet mass by 40.7% and reduced dislodgment frequency by 14.3%.
