BiVO 4 was prepared by Bi(NO 3 ) 3 ·5H 2 O and NH 4 VO 3 via a facial method. (3-acrylamide propyl) trimethyl ammonium chloride (ATAC) and allyl glycidyl ether (AGE) were reacted with 3-mercaptopropyl triethoxysilane (KH590) under ultraviolet irradiation, respectively, to prepare hydrophilic and reactive components. Then self-dispersive and reactive BiVO 4 nanoparticles were acquired after mixing hydrophilic and reactive components. Cotton fabric loaded with self-dispersive and reactive BiVO 4 was obtained by dipping-drying-curing method. BiVO 4 before and after modification was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), zeta potential and particle size. X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM and energy dispersive spectrum (EDS) were adopted to characterize crystal structure, surface morphology and chemical element components of cotton fabric. Ultraviolet protection and self-cleaning performance were investigated. Results showed that the dispersion stability of modified BiVO 4 was improved, and cotton fabric loaded with modified BiVO 4 possessed commendable ultraviolet protection and self-cleaning activities. The modified BiVO 4 with mole ratio of ATAC and AGE at 3:2 had the optimized dispersion stability, and the cotton fabric loaded with it featured the best ultraviolet protection and self-cleaning properties. The possible mechanism and reactions for the binding of BiVO 4 with cotton fabrics was proposed.

Transparent superhydrophobic coatings for the protection of material surfaces are becoming more and more important along with the rapid development of intelligent electronic displays. Here we present an easily fabricated, transparent and healable superhydrophobic self-cleaning coating. The polyaniline nanofiber network is coated with a silica shell by chemical vapor deposition of tetraethoxysilane catalyzed by ammonia. A porous silica nanotubular coating is obtained after calcination. By releasing perfluorooctyl acid packed in the pores of nanotubes at mild conditions, healable self-cleaning performance of the coating is achieved. The coating has high transparency for reading letters and pictures beneath the coated glass plate.

This work obtained separation membranes with UV-cleaning performance by adding TiO 2 -g-CS/CNTs photocatalyst to the PVDF . The positively charged chitosan (CS) and negatively charged carboxylic carbon nanotube (CNTs-COOH) can be self-assembled into the bilayer structure on the surface of TiO 2 particles through electrostatic attraction. The presence of many hydrophilic groups in CS and CNTs-COOH significantly improves the hydrophilicity of TiO 2 -g-CS/CNTs-PVDF membrane, and helps TiO 2 to be uniformly dispersed on the upper surface. TiO 2 -g-CS/CNTs promote the change of pore structure and expand the flux of the modified membrane to 4.5 times that of pure PVDF . Zeta potential demonstrates that the TiO 2 -g-CS particles successfully attracted CNTs in the PVDF matrix, and the membrane surface was still positively charged. Thus, the combined effect of the positively charged TiO 2 -g-CS and the highly adsorbed CNTs enhanced the retention of the contaminants. More importantly, there is a charge transfer between the grafted CS and TiO 2 interface to obtain a broader light absorption band. The excitation carriers provided by CNTs significantly contribute to the photocatalytic performance after transfer between TiO 2 and CS; thus, TiO 2 -g-CS/CNTs-PVDF produces higher photocatalytic activity for dye molecules (degradation rate > 97 %).

As well known, the apparent structure and chemical composition of self-cleaning photocatalytic coatings are crucial for their application. In this study, C 3 N 4 with a large specific surface area was introduced into N-CQDs/Bi 2 WO 6 to construct a highly catalytic active catalyst (CBW-0.5), which continuously degraded 57.7 % of NO. A robust self-cleaning photocatalytic coating (CCBW-B) was prepared by firmly bonding CBW-0.5 to the substrate through a layered spraying process. CBW-0.5 endowed CCBW-B with high catalytic activity, maintaining a degradation rate of 64.9 % for NO, and most of the surface organic dye contamination was degraded after 36 h. Due to the appropriate arrangement of low surface energy substances and micro/nano particles on the surface, CCBW-B with a graded cross network on the surface has contact angles (CA) of 156°/145° for water/olive oil, respectively. The influence of each component of CCBW-B on its photocatalytic and liquid repellent ability was studied, and the patterns for the differences in coating performance due to the changes in surface roughness structure caused by different layer distributions was discussed. In addition, the mechanism for the excellent performance of CCBW-B was explored using SEM, specific surface area, and the theory of the generation and distribution of air pockets. Finally, the durability and self-cleaning ability of CCBW-B were tested, and the synergistic mechanism of self-cleaning and photocatalysis was also provided.

In this work, we develop a simple yet robust method to fabricate a bioinspired adhesive coating based on polyethyleneimine (PEI) and tannic acid (TA) complexes, exhibiting excellent antifogging, self-cleaning, and antibacterial properties. The polyethyleneimine-tannic acid (PEI-TA) complexes coating combined with the bioinspired adhesive property from TA can be effectively and stably coated onto various substrates through a one-step deposition process , and the hydrophilicity of the coated substrates can be significantly enhanced with their water contact angle less than 10°. The bioinspired adhesive coating endows the coated substrates with outstanding antifogging and self-cleaning performance. Moreover, it is found that the PEI-TA coated safety goggles display excellent durability and antifogging capability compared to the commercial antifogging safety goggles and commercial antifogging agents coated safety goggles under 65 ℃ vapor condition for 2 h. Furthermore, the PEI-TA coatings show superior antibacterial activities for Gram-negative Escherichiak coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus . The antifogging, self-cleaning, and antibacterial coating provides widely potential application prospects in optical and medical devices .

Bacterial adhesion to material surfaces can lead to biofilm formation, posing risks of pathogen infections and reducing the service life of materials. Consequently, developing cotton fabrics with resistance to bacterial adhesion holds significant promise for enhancing hygiene and durability. In this study, a kind of cotton fabric with hydrophobic and antibacterial adhesion properties was designed in order to inhibit biofilm growth. A multifunctional coating was applied directly to the cotton fabric surface using the pad-dry-cure technique, and the fabric was subsequently chlorinated to confer antibacterial characteristics. Hcotton-Cl exhibited a water contact angle of 146° in hydrophobic experiments and demonstrated effective resistance against dye and soil contamination in self-cleaning tests. According to the GB/T 20944.3-2008 test method, Hcotton-Cl exhibited potent antibacterial activity, capable of inactivating 1 × 10⁶ CFU·mL -1 of bacteria within 10 minutes. Moreover, the fabric showed robust anti-adhesion properties, significantly reducing the likelihood of bacterial colonization. Anti-biofilm assays further confirmed that Hcotton-Cl markedly diminished biofilm formation, even after enduring 50 washing cycles.

Superhydrophobic cotton fabrics have received much attention in recent years. They have been constructed usually by lowering surface energy and increasing surface roughness. Because of the significant environmental harm caused by fluorine-containing reagents, difficult preparation techniques, and low wear resistance, finding a simple approach to prepare a fluorine-free, wear-resistant, strongly sticky superhydrophobic cotton fabric remains a challenge. In this study, we describe a fluorine-free superhydrophobic cotton fabric using the simple preparation approach of immersion, which creates nanoscale siloxane aggregates dispersible in organic solvents. The modified cotton fabrics are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, fourier-transform infrared, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. Excellent superhydrophobicity (ultrahigh water contact angle is 165.2° and sliding angle is 7.2° as well as excellent self-cleaning properties) has been easily applied to cotton fabrics. Superhydrophobic cotton fabrics also have good anti-fouling properties for many common types of liquids, such as milk, coffee, cola, etc. It has been established that these waterproof coatings exhibit outstanding mechanical endurance against water impact, abrasion, and laundering. Superhydrophobic fabrics have a wide range of possible uses due to their readily available coating materials, simple application technique, and strong mechanical endurance. Graphical abstract

The massive and long-term service of 5083 aluminum alloy (AA5083) is restricted by several shortcomings in marine and industrial environments, such as proneness to localized corrosion attack, surface contamination, etc. Herein, we report a facile and cost-effective strategy to transform intrinsic hydrophilicity into water-repellent superhydrophobicity, combining fluorine-free chemisorption of a hydrophobic agent with etching texture. Dual-scale hierarchical structure, surface height relief and surface chemical elements were studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), successively. Detailed investigations of the wetting property, self-cleaning effect, NaCl-particle self-propelling, corrosion and long-term behavior of the consequent superhydrophobic AA5083 surface were carried out, demonstrating extremely low adhesivity and outstanding water-repellent, self-cleaning and corrosion-resisting performance with long-term stability. We believe that the low cost, scalable and fluorine-free transforming of metallic surface wettability into waterproof superhydrophobicity is a possible strategy towards anti-contamination and marine anti-corrosion.Keywords:fluorine free;silanization;superhydrophobic;corrosion protection;self-cleaning

The development of a self-cleaning and corrosion resistant superhydrophobic coating for aluminum alloy surfaces that is durable in aggressive conditions has attracted great interest in materials science. In the present study, a superphydrophobic film was fabricated on an AA5052 aluminum alloy surface by the electrodeposition of Ni–Co alloy coating, followed by modification with 6-(N-allyl-1,1,2,2-tetrahydro-perfluorodecyl) amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dithiol monosodium (AF17N). The surface morphology and characteristics of the composite coatings were investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDS), atomic force microscope (AFM) and contact angle (CA). The corrosion resistance of the coatings was assessed by electrochemical tests. The results showed that the surface exhibited excellent superhydrophobicity and self-cleaning performance with a contact angle maintained at 160° after exposed to the atmosphere for 240 days. Moreover, the superhydrophobic coatings significantly improved the corrosion resistant performance of AA5052 aluminum alloy substrate in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution.Keywords:superhydrophobic surface;aluminum alloy;corrosion resistance;self-cleaning

Superhydrophobic cement-based materials are promising candidates to alleviate the performance deterioration of concrete constructions caused by water penetration. However, the weak mechanical performance of superhydrophobic surfaces, and severe reduction in compressive strength due to bulk modification, present significant challenges for the application of superhydrophobic cement-based materials. In this work, a superhydrophobic mortar (S-mortar) was prepared using a facile and economical method by surface micro-nano roughness construction and matrix silane modification, and nano-silica was introduced to compensate for the strength loss. The obtained S-mortar exhibits superb surface mechanical durability and chemical stability, no significant decrease in superhydrophobic property after sandpaper rubbing, knife scratches, and exposure to extreme temperatures, while even new surfaces exposed by cutting and powders obtained by grinding possess excellent water repellency. Furthermore, the superhydrophobicity endows the S-mortar with self-cleaning, anti-fouling, anti-icing, anti-freezing, and anti-corrosion properties. This approach creates a balance between superhydrophobic property and mechanical performance, broadening application prospects of superhydrophobic cement-based materials.

Catalytic membranes, as a combination of heterogeneous advanced oxidation and membrane technology reaction systems, have important application prospects in the treatment of dyes and other organics. In practical applications, it is still challenging to construct catalytic membranes with excellent removal efficiency and fouling mitigation. Herein, molybdenum disulfide-iron oxyhydroxide (MoS2-FeOOH) was fabricated using iron oxide and MoS2nanoflakes, which were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Furthermore, by changing the concentration of MoS2-FeOOH, the MoS2-FeOOH/polyethersulfone (PES) composite ultrafiltration membrane was obtained with improved hydrophilicity, permeability, and antifouling capacity. The pure water flux of the composite membrane reached 385.3 L/(m2·h), which was 1.7 times that of the blank PES membrane. Compared with the blank membrane, with the increase of MoS2-FeOOH content, the MoS2-FeOOH/PES composite membranes had better adsorption capacity and catalytic performance, and the membrane with 3.0% MoS2-FeOOH content (M4) could be achieved at a 60.2% methylene blue (MB) degradation rate. In addition, the membrane flux recovery ratio (FRR) of the composite membrane also increased from 25.6% of blank PES membrane (M0) to more than 70% after two cycles of bovine serum albumin (BSA) filtration and hydraulic cleaning. The membrane with 2.25% MoS2-FeOOH content (M3) had the best antifouling performance, with the largestFRRand the smallest irreversible ratio (Rir). Catalytic self-cleaning of the composite membrane M3 recovered 95% of the initial flux with 0.1 mol/L H2O2cleaning. The MoS2-FeOOH/PES composite membranes with the functions of excellent rejection and antifouling capacity have a good prospect in the treatment of printing and dyeing wastewater composed of soluble dyes.Keywords:catalytic self-cleaning membrane;antifouling;MoS2;Fenton-like reaction

As the value of TiO 2 in environmental protection continues to be explored, it has broad potential for stone building protection. However, the hydrophilicity of TiO 2 makes it challenging to keep stable on the exterior of buildings and hydroxyl radicals generated under UV irradiation may be harmful to substrates. Herein, TiO 2 was wrapped with the SiO 2 shell by a modified Stöber method and superhydrophobic TiO 2 was obtained by grafting methyl groups on the SiO 2 shell. The TiO 2 @Si–Me core-shell system were dispersed in Paraloid B72 and applied on marble surfaces to investigate the self-cleaning effect of TiO 2 on the substrate. The results showed that the superhydrophobic TiO 2 nanoparticles significantly enhanced the surface roughness , which was beneficial to transform the acrylic resin coating from hydrophilic to hydrophobic and retain the original vapor permeability. The adsorption rate and degradation efficiency of methylene blue of TiO 2 @Si–Me core-shell system were 2.19 and 1.45 times higher than that of pure TiO 2 . Furthermore, the superhydrophobic TiO 2 did not change the color of the stone after UV aging, which contributed to maintaining the appearance of buildings. These findings will help to understand the role of photocatalytic nanomaterials in developing protective layers for stone construction and expand the application in the self-cleaning of the architectural environment.
