A sample hydrothermal method for preparing durable Ni3S2 superomniphobic surface. Issue 5 (February 2019) - Yin, Xiaoli
Abstract: With the development of surface science and bionics, the wettability of solid surfaces has drawn a broad attention. A simple hydrothermal reaction was used for the preparation of Ni3 S2 coating with nanowires structure. Then the surface modified by tetradecanoic acid displayed an excellent repellence to water, glycerol and ethanol solutions. The stability of the Ni3 S2 superomniphobic surface was investigated, finding that the superomniphobic surface owned a great resistance to the tape-peeling and air environment. The method for preparing Ni3 S2 superomniphobic coating is simple and economical, which has an advantage in future application in self-cleaning and oil-water separation.
