UV-Driven Reversible Switching of a Roselike Vanadium Oxide Film between Superhydrophobicity and Superhydrophilicity
Abstract
We report the fabrication of a roselike nanostructured vanadium oxide (V 2 O 5 ) film with photoinduced surface wettability switching by carrying out the drop-casting of a suspension of V 2 O 5 particles synthesized with the sol−gel method. Although a pure V 2 O 5 film is slightly hydrophilic, the addition of alkylamine renders the nanostructured V 2 O 5 film superhydrophobic owing to the intercalation of alkyl chains between the V 2 O 5 layers. UV exposure switches the wettability of the V 2 O 5 surface to superhydrophilic with a water contact angle of almost 0°, and storage in the dark reconverts the irradiated surface back to its initial superhydrophobic state. This extraordinary wetting transition is ascribed to the cooperation between the photosensitivity of V 2 O 5 and the surface roughness of its nanostructure, which has submicron- to micron-scale apertures. Our approach provides not only the possibility of producing large homogeneous or patterned surfaces with tunable wettability, but also potential uses in catalysts, electrodes, switchable smart devices, etc., in various fields for future industrial applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
