Shortage of water resources and deterioration of water quality are becoming more and more serious today. Inspired by Namib Desert beetles, scientists designed biomimetic fog collection materials to obtain fresh water. The overview of this field is limited and mainly concerned with the preparation and application. In this paper, we focused on the water collection efficiency of surfaces inspired by beetles and discussed their influence on the water collection efficiency from three aspects: surface wettability, surface structure and surface pattern distribution.
如今，水资源短缺和水质恶化问题日益严重。受纳米布沙漠甲虫的启发，科学家们设计了仿生集雾材料以获取淡水。该领域的综述较为有限，主要关注制备和应用方面。在本文中，我们聚焦于受甲虫启发的表面的集水效率，并从表面润湿性、表面结构和表面图案分布三个方面讨论了它们对集水效率的影响。
