Abstract

The invention relates to a micro-droplet self-transported wedged non-uniform ultra-wetting surface and a preparation method thereof. A super-hydrophobic surface containing titanium dioxide or zinc oxide nano-materials is constructed on the surface of a substrate by using a coating spraying or hydrothermal oxidation method, and a template method is used, ultraviolet light catalysis or oxygen plasma region selective modification is carried out to obtain a wedged super-hydrophilic region, the template method also can be used to obtain a wedged covering region, and then the coating spraying or hydrothermal oxidation method can be used again, and region selection is carried out to construct the super-hydrophobic surface, so as to obtain the wedged non-uniform ultra-wetting surface, finally, the wedged region is further modified by using polyvinyl alcohol again to obtain a bulge of the smooth super-hydrophilic wedged region, so that micro-droplets can be transported spontaneously in the wedged region without external force driving. By selecting the region of a template, the wedged super-hydrophilic region arranged in an array can be obtained on the super-hydrophobic surface, and multiple micro-droplets are in self-propelled movement by one time, so that the micro-droplet self-transported wedged non-uniform ultra-wetting surface has broad application prospects in fields of condensation heat transfer enhancement or evaporation heat transfer, fog catchment, microfluid and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a wedge-shaped non-uniform wettability surface that can be self-transported by microdroplets. Background technique [0002] In many important applications, such as heat transfer, seawater desalination, water harvesting, etc., the condensation of water vapor is a very important process. On a solid surface, the condensation process includes droplet condensation and film condensation, and the condensation method depends on the wettability of the condensation surface. Droplet condensation can greatly improve the efficiency of heat transfer. Studies have shown that compared with film condensation, the heat transfer efficiency of droplet condensation can be increased by more than 10 times. [0003] On the superhydrophobic surface of the micro-nano composite, the droplets exist in the superhydrophobic Cassie state on this surface. In this state, the water droplets are easy to desorb at a small inclination angle...
