Recent Advances in Fabrication of Durable, Transparent, and Superhydrophobic Surfaces

mycolabadmin

This review explores how scientists create special water-repellent coatings that are also transparent and long-lasting. These coatings are inspired by natural surfaces like lotus leaves and could be used on windows, phone screens, and solar panels. The main challenge is balancing three competing demands: making surfaces water-repellent, keeping them clear, and ensuring they survive wear and tear.

Effective Regulation of ZnO Surface Facets for Enhanced Photoluminescence Properties Assisted by Zinc Quaternary Ammonium Salts

mycolabadmin

Researchers developed a simple method to create special zinc oxide (ZnO) structures shaped like mushrooms with enhanced light-emitting properties. By adjusting the ratio of methanol to water in a heating process and using a special zinc-based chemical as a building block controller, they achieved structures with specific crystal surface exposures. These twined-mushroom structures showed significantly brighter light emission, making them promising candidates for use in light-emitting devices that require single-color output.
