| Résumé: | © 2023 Wiley-VCH GmbH. To survive underwater even in severely hypoxic water for a long period, the water spider has to periodically collect and replenish air into the diving bell. Inspired by this natural air-replenishing strategy, a water spider-inspired nanofiber (WSN) coating with underwater superaerophilicity displaying excellent and sustainable scalephobic capability is prepared. Air film on the WSN coating can be well-kept and further employed as the barrier layer for scale repellence. Significantly, scalephobic capability of the WSN coating mainly originates from two aspects: inhibiting interfacial nucleation and reducing interfacial adhesion of scale. Compared with previous studies, this WSN coating achieves excellent and sustainable scale repellence (≈ 98% reduction in scale deposition) even after a one-month dynamic scaling test. Thus, this air-replenishing strategy may raise a new avenue for advanced long-term scalephobic materials |
