Abstract

Wetting-transparent graphene films grown in situ by chemical vapor deposition on hydrophobic (roughened) copper surfaces offer excellent resistance to copper corrosion while maintaining the intrinsic hydrophobicity of the surface, enabling superior performance for water-harvesting applications.
