摘要
Water scarcity has become a critical global threat, particularly in arid and underdeveloped regions. However, certain insects and plants have evolved the capability to obtain water from fog under these arid conditions. Bionic fog collection, characterized by passive harvesting, minimal energy requirements, and low maintenance costs, has proven to be an efficient method for water harvesting, offering a sustainable water source. This review introduces two superwettable surfaces, namely, superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic surfaces, detailing their preparation methods and applications in fog collection. The fog collection mechanisms of three typical natural organisms, Namib Desert beetles, spider silk, and cactus, along with their bionic surfaces for fog collection devices, are discussed. Additionally, other biological surfaces exhibiting fog transport properties are presented. The main challenges regarding the fabrication and application of bionic fog collection are summarized. Furthermore, we firmly believe that environmentally friendly, low-cost, and stable fog collection materials or devices hold promising prospects for future applications.
