The work is documented in the cover story of this month\u2019s <em>Advanced Materials<\/em> journal.<\/p>\n<p>Debashis Chanda, a professor at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nanoscience.ucf.edu\/\">麻豆原创\u2019s NanoScience Technology Center<\/a>, led the team that created these novel superhydrophobic films and coating from nanomaterials. He was inspired by nature and evolution of certain plants and biological species<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing water repellent or hydrophobicity is nature\u2019s tool to protect and self-clean plants and animals against pathogens like fungi, algae growth and dirt accumulation,\u201d Chanda says. \u201cWe took our cues from the structure of a lotus leaf and synthesized nanostructured materials based on molecular crystals of fullerenes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fullerenes (C60 and C70) are built by bundling carbon molecules \u2014 the basic building block of the universe. Carbon comes in various forms. In special circumstances 60 or 70 such carbon molecules can bound together to form a cage-like closed structure, called fullerenes. These cages can stack on each other to form tall crystals called fullerites.<\/p>\n<p>By placing a drop of a gel created from fullerites on any surface, a super water-repellent state is triggered, Chanda says. The unique cage-like structure of the gel doesn\u2019t interfere with the original material being treated, which means they preserve their unique functional properties. That means the new super surface can potentially be used for splitting water, bacterial disinfection, hydrogen generation or electrocatalysis \u2014 all of which can be generated in fluid environments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, the new gel makes splitting electrocatalysis easier, which could lead to more efficient fuel cells,\u201d Chanda says. \u201cThe same gel can lead to better electron acceptors, which are key in developing highly sensitive detectors and sensors for toxic gases. There is a lot of potential. It is quite exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The majority of previously reported hydrophobic surfaces have been achieved by designing microscopic patterns that involves complex lithography or etching processes that cannot be performed on all surfaces. And not all hydrophobic surfaces previously developed remain dry when submerged underwater for more than a few minutes at a certain water depth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe found that fullerite films display extreme water repellency regardless of direction of water flow and even under continuous flow of water over them,\u201d Chanda says. \u201cEven when they are submerged at 2 feet of water for several hours, the films remain dry. We even found that they can capture and store gases underwater in the form of plastrons \u2014 a form of trapped bubbles mimicking the miraculous alkali fly of California\u2019s Mono Lake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rinku Saran, a post-doctoral fellow in Chanda\u2019s lab, and lead author of the study says he\u2019s excited about the potential.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause these superhydrophobic surfaces are created in a very facile and easy process using pure carbon fullerenes we anticipate they can be exploited in many experiments and real-life applications,\u201d Saran says.<\/p>\n<p>The other co-authors are David Fox, a doctoral student at NanoScience Technology Center, and Professor of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/chemistry-bs\/\">Chemistry <\/a>Lei Zhai.<\/p>\n<p>Chanda has a joint appointment in 麻豆原创\u2019s Department of NanoScience Technology Center, the <a href=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/\">Department of Physics<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/creol.ucf.edu\/\">College of Optics and Photonics<\/a>. Chanda received his doctorate in photonics from the University of Toronto and worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign before joining 麻豆原创 in
