Hierarchically structured porous aluminum surfaces for high-efficient removal of condensed water

Abstract

Hierarchically structured porous aluminum surfaces for the high efficient removal of condensed water microdroplets are prepared via simply immersing aluminum sheets in hot water followed by modification with a low surface energy chemical. A correlation between the work of adhesion with the self-removal of condensed water microdroplets is established.
