Atmospheric Water Harvesting: An Experimental Study of Viability and the Influence of Surface Geometry, Orientation, and Drainage
… collection rate of 29% with the addition of a Teflon coating to the collection surface, 15% by clearing the collection surface, and 89% by tilting certain collection surfaces by 60-75°. In combination, these parameters could push active atmospheric water harvesting into economic viability where …

Rational design of hydrogen-free catalytic active sites
… and thermally resistant C-F bonds to create a "Teflon coating"; of the metal active site, keeping it open for catalysis while protecting the molecule against self-decomposition. The first part presents the synthesis, spectroscopic and X-ray structural characterization of new, mixed …

Non-traditional catalysis by plasmonic nanostructures
… from the surface. Small cracks in the stir bar’s Teflon coating allowed aqua regia to penetrate and react with the core, producing H2, even hours after washing. This finding, published as a viewpoint in ACS Energy Letters, reminds the community of the importance of rigorous control experiments to …

An Experimental Investigation of Electrowetting Modulated Nucleate Boiling
Electrowetting (EW) has drawn significant research interests in droplet-based microfluidics, and most applications focus on electronic displays, lab-on-a-chip devices and electro-optical switches, etc. In this work, we report a novel application of EW in enhancing nucleate boiling heat transfer. …
