The technology is based on the design of an emulsion from nanoparticles, wax and pollens derived from plants. It is then sprayed onto a substrate to produce a texture surface, mimicking superhydrophobic surface like a lotus leaves. The plant nanoparticle is hydrophilic, and will nucleate tiny water droplets. We can harvest 5L of water per square meter of surface per hr. Thus, the process is scalable. You can read our research in Nature Water, (2023) 1 (7), 587-601 and Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.
