Vapor spontaneously diffuses from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration as a consequence of the Second Law of Thermodynamics and the hunt for maximum entropy. The distribution of substances with lower saturated vapor pressures on a surface can create this concentration slope in the space. However, most substances, except ice, cannot maintain this slope because humidity sinking causes their saturated vapor pressure to drop. Moreover, the location of ice growth is difficult to control. In this paper, a pattern of CaCl2 was made on the micronano hierarchically aluminum substrate. When the temperature drops below zero, the vapor pressure at the position where CaCl2 is located is low relative to that of water as a way to achieve a continuous phase transition from solid CaCl2 to brine to ice. Thus, vapor nearby continuously diffuses to and deposits at the site, resulting in a lasting dry region around without water condensation. The frost growing on the pattern is also fluffy and can be easily removed by gravity and/or wind. This work has promising applications in areas where it is extremely difficult to use active deicing methods.

Superhydrophobic ceria on the aluminum substrate was fabricated, and its corrosion resistance was investigated by different techniques. For example, the so-obtained superhydrophobic sample was immersed into the NaCl aqueous solution, and the variations in the surface wettability as well as the surface morphology were monitored; potentiodynamic polarization in the NaCl aqueous solution was adopted to evaluate its electrochemical corrosion resistance; a droplet of the aqueous solution HCl was dripped onto the superhydrophobic surface, and the corrosion process as well as the surface morphology after corrosion was monitored. The experimental results showed that the superhydrophobic ceria possessed a good corrosion resistance because of the entrapped air in the solid/liquid interface.

In this work, a robust epoxy adhesive (EP) @ superhydrophobic SiO 2 (SH-SiO 2 )-based superhydrophobic coating was prepared on the aluminum substrate by a simple one-step spraying strategy. The prepared EP@SH-SiO 2 coating exhibits hierarchical micro/nanostructures and is capable of maintaining a contact angle of more than 150° after 1000 cm of abrasion length and 80 tape-peeling repetitions. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and quantum mechanics calculations show that the improved mechanical resistance is attributed to the enhanced interfacial interaction between the EP@SH-SiO 2 coating and the underlying substrate induced by the epoxy adhesive. Electrochemical measurements in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution show the corrosion inhibition efficiency of the EP@SH-SiO 2 coating reaches up to 99.99%, and even after 8 days of immersion, the low frequency impedance modulus of the EP@SH-SiO 2 sample is still ∼1 order of magnitude higher than that bare aluminum, demonstrating excellent long-term corrosion protection. The diffusion behavior of the corrosive medium in the EP@SH-SiO 2 coating was revealed by MD simulation to support the experimental results. Additionally, the EP@SH-SiO 2 coating exhibits good chemical stability and hydrophobic repair properties. This work will provide a new perspective for the preparation and study of robust superhydrophobic aluminum for corrosion protection properties.

With unique water-repellent and self-cleaning properties, engineering metallic materials with superhydrophobicity endows them with greatly enhanced corrosion resistance. Herein, a facile and controllable one-step electrodeposition approach was employed to fabricate a superhydrophobic surface (SHPS) on an aluminum (Al) substrate as a barrier against corrosion media. The wettability, morphology, and chemical composition of the consequent SHPS were characterized by contact angle (CA), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. The anti-contamination and anticorrosion behaviors of the resultant SHPS were investigated by self-cleaning test, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The electrochemical results indicate that the resultant SHPS possessed greatly enhanced corrosion resistance, and were able to reduce the corrosion of a bare Al surface, with an inhibition efficiency of 99.96%. Furthermore, the as-fabricated SHPS maintained excellent durability and stability after air exposure, deionized water immersion, and 3.5 wt% NaCl solution immersion. We believe that SHPS fabricated by a versatile one-step electrodeposition approach would make it possible to develop engineering materials with durable self-cleaning and anticorrosion properties for use in rugged environments.

Superhydrophobic metal coatings have been extensively studied in recent years because of their significant potential applications. Unfortunately, most of them lost the original metallic luster due to the micro/nano binary structures. In this paper, a facile method was developed to prepare a superhydrophobic and high-glossy copper coating on aluminum substrates. The bionic lotus leaf surfaces were constructed by electroless plating method and further modified with octadecanethiol. The wettability and gloss could be tuned by the concentration of the precursor. With the increase of CuSO 4 concentration, the surface roughness of the coating raised, thus resulting in increase of contact angle and decrease of glossiness. When the CuSO 4 concentration was 30 mmol/L, the coating exhibited a sub-micro/nano binary structure, in which 20–30 nm protuberances were grown on 300–500 nm mastoids. Such special morphology endowed the coating with superhydrophobic and high-glossy properties, and the coating also showed ultra-low water adhesion and stable dynamic water repellence.

Aluminum alloys are vulnerable to penetrating and peeling failures in seawater and preparing a barrier coating to isolate the substrate from corrosive medium is an effective anticorrosion method. Inspired by the lotus leaves effect, a wetting alloy surface with enhanced anticorrosion behavior has been prepared via etch, deposition, and low-surface-energy modification. Results indicate that excellent superamphiphobicity has been achieved after the modification of the constructed hierarchical labyrinth-like microstructures and dendritic nanostructures. The as-prepared surface is also found with good chemical stability and mechanical durability. Furthermore, superior anticorrosion behaviors of the resultant samples in seawater are investigated by electrochemical measurements. Due to trapped air in micro/nanostructures, the newly presented solid-air-liquid contacting interface can help to resist the seawater penetration by greatly reducing the interface interaction between corrosive ions and the superamphiphobic surface. Finally, an optimized two-layer perceptron artificial neural network is set up to model and predict the cause-and-effect relationship between preparation conditions and the anticorrosion parameters. This work provides a great potential to extend the applications of aluminum alloys especially in marine engineering fields.

A superamphiphobic surface is prepared on aluminum substrate by combination of electrical discharge machining (EDM) and electrodeposition. The micro-scale pit structures obtained after EDM were used as a pretreatment method to electrodeposit Zn nanoparticles on this surface, then fluoro-silanization assembled TiO 2 (TiO 2 -FAS) reduced surface energy, finally we obtained a superamphiphobic surface. The contact angle (CA) of the water droplets reaches 169.8 ± 3.0°, and that of oil droplets reaches 154.5 ± 8.3° on this surface. This as-prepared surface has a hierarchical micro-nanostructure, and EDM treatment improves its mechanical stability, since the surface was verified to maintain a large CA after long distance abrasion. The high-speed camera was used to observe the water and oil droplets bounce during impact, which demonstrates excellent water and oil repellence. A drag reduction test equipment was built according to pressure differential theory, and it was verified that the flow resistance on the as-prepared surface decreased relative to bare Al substrate. Self-cleaning performance test was carried out. Based on this fabrication method, we took the advantages of EDM in metal to obtain superamphiphobic patterns and curve surfaces, such as ball sockets and inner surface of holes. The approach broadens the application of EDM and enriches the fabrication on superhydrophobic surface.

Herein, the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform was combined with an azo coupling reaction and an aluminum alloy covered with a hydrophobic layer of praseodymium oxide and stearic acid complexes for the detection of histamine. The praseodymium oxide on aluminum alloy was successfully synthesized by the rare-earth-salt-solution boiling bath method and modified by stearic acid. Its surface exhibits a water contact angle (WCA) of 125.0°. Through the azo derivatization reaction with 3-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole (AMTA) diazonium salts, histamine can be converted into the derivatization product with higher Raman activity. The mixture of the derivatization product and β-cyclodextrin-modified Ag nanoparticles (β-CD-AgNPs) were dropped onto the surface of an aluminum alloy covered with a hydrophobic layer of praseodymium oxide and stearic acid complexes, and dried for SERS measurement. The intensity ratio between the SERS peaks at 1246 cm −1 and 1104 cm −1 (I 1246 /I 1104 ) of the derivatization product was used for the quantification of histamine. Under the selected conditions, the limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) for this method were 7.2 nM (S/N = 3) and 24 nM (S/N = 10), respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of this method for the determination of 1 μM histamine was 6.1 % (n = 20). The method was also successfully used for the determination of histamine in fish samples with recoveries ranging from 92 % to 111 %. The present method is simple, sensitive, reliable, and may provide a new approach for preparing the composite hydrophobic layer that can enhance SERS signals through hydrophobic condensation effect. Meanwhile, it may have a promising future in the determination of small molecular compounds containing an imidazole ring.

Sheet aluminum powder was used as the substrate and aniline as the polymer monomer, to design novel Al/PANI composites via in-situ polymerization, which exhibited high electromagnetic wave absorption properties and low infrared emissivity. These unique bifunctional composite were systematically characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy , scanning electron microscope, IR-2 dual-band emission rate measuring instrument and vector network analyzer. The calculated results showed that the maximum reflection loss value of Al/PANI composite reached −46.09 dB at 14.56 GHz with a film thickness of only 1.0 mm. Meanwhile, the infrared emission rate of the composite was 0.55. The excellent electromagnetic absorption performance may be ascribed to its superior conductivity and unique structure. The merits of as-synthesized composites with high-performance microwave absorbing properties and low infrared emissivity indicate the potential use of Al/PANI composites in the applicable stealth fields.

In this study, a facile strategy for in situ growth of covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) membrane on α-Al 2 O 3 substrate was presented. An intact CTFs based composite membrane was obtained in a solvothermal growth process. The structure and property of the CTFs composite membranes were investigated. The results indicated that CTFs could grow in the pores of the α-Al 2 O 3 substrate to modify the transport channel. Due to the sieving effect of the CTFs aperture, the prepared CTFs composite membrane exhibited superior rejection for different types of dyes (>97%) with extremely low rejection for salts (<20%). Moreover, the CTFs composite membrane had a high permeability (448 L m −2 h −1 MPa −1 ) and good stability for dye desalination. This approach demonstrated the great potential of CTFs membranes for dye/salt separation.

A superhydrophobic ZnAl–layered double hydroxide (LDH)–La film was prepared by a hydrothermal method and further modification by laurate anions in this work. Comprehensive characterizations of this film were performed in terms of morphology, composition, structure, roughness, and wettability by scanning electronic microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, three-dimensional laser scanning confocal microscopy. The long-term corrosion protection effect of this superhydrophobic film was investigated deeply by monitoring the changes of the electrochemical impedance spectra for a long time of up to a month in 3.5 wt % NaCl solution. In the meantime, the changes of the contact angle were also recorded with the evolution of the immersion time. The result indicated that the stable superhydrophobic ZnAl–LDH–La film was able to provide efficient protection for the underlying Al substrate for a long time. In addition, the capability of the superhydrophobic surface against harsh conditions, including chemical damages and physical damages, was emphatically investigated. It was found that the superhydrophobic surface was chemically stable toward acid (pH ≥ 3), alkali, and heating, and it also exhibited high ultraviolet (UV) radiation resistance. This superhydrophobic coating maintained superhydrophobicity for 7 days of radiation in an UV chamber equipped with a 40 W UV lamp (λ = 254 nm), indicating superior ability of adapting to outdoor environment. This comprehensive investigation of the superhydrophobic ZnAl–LDH–La film is considerably helpful for researchers and engineers to get deep insight into its potential for practical applications in the field of corrosion and protection.

The fabrication of patterned metal films is essential for a wide range of applications. Here, a novel solution-processing method is presented to achieve the area-selective deposition of copper on aluminum substrates via an in situ Al/CuSO 4 /Graphite voltaic cell template. And the copper ions preferentially deposit in the graphite-covered area due to the formed latent image of the potential difference between the graphite-covered area and the blank area on the aluminum surface. Benefiting from the low adhesive force of graphite, the formed copper layer can be easily peeled off and transferred to a flexible substrate to obtain the patterned conductive metal films. By studying the electrochemical properties of different surfaces and the in situ microscopic observation, four stages of electroplating process are proposed. More importantly, a positive correlation between the deposition speed and graphite coverage density is confirmed. This further enables a regional control of deposition thickness in addition to area-selective deposition, which means a 3D controllable metal deposition. Other forms of electroactive carbon are also demonstrated to replace graphite in this method, which offers a versatile and accessible technique to fabricate large-area flexible patterned metal films with defined feature size and controlled resolution from microscale to macroscale.
