Abstract

In the present work, nanostructured functionalized silica is coated on an aluminum (Al) substrate by the spray pyrolysis method to create a stable and effective super-hydrophobic substrate for water harvesting via moist air. Substrate characterization reveals that (1) major diffraction peaks corresponding to crystoballite SiO2 (C-SiO2), quartz (Q-SiO2), Al2O3, and Al2SiO5 are to be found at SiO2/Al interface; (2) strong chemically bonded methyl functionalized silica is confirmed on the Al surface by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and x-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS) shows the presence of Al-O-Si bond at the interface; and (3) the equilibrium contact angle of the water droplet on the coated substrate is measured to be 156° ± 5° with a hysteresis of 10° ± 3°. The coating is found to be stable for more than 365 days in a humid atmosphere. Finally, moist air condensation experiments confirm substantial augmentation of condensate collected ranging from 188 ml/m2-h over an untreated aluminum substrate to 750 ml/m2-h over the coated substrate. Hence, it is concluded that nanostructured silica-coated Al substrate is highly effective for enhancing the condensation of water vapor from a moist air environment.
