Abstract

Hierarchically structured porous aluminum surfaces for the high efficient removal of condensed water microdroplets are prepared via simply immersing aluminum sheets in hot water followed by modification with a low surface energy chemical. A correlation between the work of adhesion with the self-removal of condensed water microdroplets is established.
