Via a simple wet chemical etching followed by stearic acid modification, the presence of synergistic binary structures at micro-and nanometer scales and stearic acid bestows superhydrophobic property on steel and aluminum alloy surfaces. The as-prepared surfaces show superhydrophobic not only for pu

## Abstract Aluminum sheets were furnished with a waterβrepellent composite layer consisting of microroughened alumina, chitosan (CHS), and poly[octadeceneβ__alt__β(maleic anhydride)] (POMA). CHS was electrochemically deposited or spinβcoated. In a subsequent reaction step, POMA was covalently bond
This letter presents the details of a novel battery architecture based on superhydrophobic nanostructured materials. Both electrodes of a battery are formed on nanostructured silicon surfaces that are subsequently treated to make them superhydrophobic, effectively separating the liquid electrolyte f
