Abstract：

Efficient　collection　of　water　from　fog　provides　a　potential　solution　to　solve　the　global　freshwater　shortage　problem,　particularly　in　the　desert　or　arid　regions.　In　this　work,　a　flexible　and　highly　efficient　fog　collector　was　prepared　by　mimicking　the　back　exoskeleton　structure　of　the　Namib　desert　beetle.　The　improved　fog　collector　was　constructed　by　a　superhydrophobic-superhydrophilic　patterned　fabric　via　a　simple　weaving　method,　followed　by　in-situ　deposition　of　copper　particles.　Compared　with　the　conventional　fog　collector　with　a　plane　structure,　the　fabric　has　shown　a　higher　water-harvesting　rate　at　1432.7　mg/h/cm2,　owing　to　the　biomimetic　three-dimensional　structure,　its　enhanced　condensation　performance　enabled　by　the　copper　coating　and　the　rational　distribution　of　wetting　units.　The　device　construction　makes　use　of　the　widely　available　textile　materials　through　mature　manufacturing　technology,　which　makes　it　highly　suitable　for　large-scale　industrial　production.　©　2020
