Boiling heat transfer has become increasingly importance in a variety of industrial fields, but it involves chaotic nature phenomena that remain experimentally challenging. From the perspective of nucleation, bubble embryos emerge at the early stage on extremely small time and length scales. Therefore, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is a popular and useful tool to uncover the distinctive boiling mechanisms at microscale. Recently, such method has yielded meaningful achievements, but there is still elusive on the current status and bottlenecks behind complex boiling processes. In this work, the state-of-the-art studies on bubble nucleation and boiling heat transfer that covers 129 papers up to 2024 have been comprehensively reviewed. Meanwhile, fundamental concepts of MD are briefly introduced, including MD principles, force fields, and determination of nucleation-related parameters. In contrast to microscopic boiling, bubble nucleation stems from the competition between potential and kinetic energies on micro/nano scale. Then, the key factors such as interfacial wettability and mixture component are thoroughly elucidated for bubble nucleation. In addition, both passive and active techniques are systematically discussed to unveil the underlaying mechanisms for boiling heat transfer enhancement. Finally, the ongoing trials needed for MD simulation are identified, together with an outlook for how to address these challenges. This review aims to offer an up-to-date summary of boiling mechanisms and draw more attention to the development of advanced MD techniques.

Superhydrophobic systems have fascinated the human kind since the earliest observations of the repellence of water droplets by biological systems. Currently, superhydrophobic materials (SHMs), often inspired by nature and engineered as thin coatings, become an important class of complex systems with numerous industrial implementations. The most important applications of SHMs cover waterproof, self-cleaning, anti−/deicing, anti-fogging, and catalytic systems/units, e.g., in textiles, civil and military engineering, automotive and space industry, and water-from-oil separating systems. In a few above areas, SHMs proved also to be tailorable as smart, i.e., reversibly stimuli-responsive and/or recyclable solutions. In all of those emerging fields, carbon – as the ‘sixth element’ – represents one of the most prospective components, also in the ‘only‑carbon’-based systems. The versatility of carbon (nano)materials, supported by their surface and morphology/topology tunability at from the nano- to macroscale, is vital in the manufacturing of high-performance SHMs. Here, we review only-sp2-hybridized nanocarbon SHMs, i.e., materials exhibiting water contact angle (WCA) >150°, from molecular design to synthesis and evaluation of their application-oriented properties, including WCA. The nanocarbons – pristine/as-made, (non-)covalently functionalized and in a form of carbon‑carbon composites – are analyzed according to their dimensionality: 0D fullerenes, 1D carbon nanotubes (CNTs), 2D graphene, and 3D carbon nanofibers (CNFs). Importantly, this review intends to provide premises toward novel sp2-nanocarbon SHMs, indicating nanowettability and Hansen Solubility Parameters the key ones.

Composites of hydroxyapatite, recognized by its peculiar crystal architecture and distinctive attributes showcased the potential in adsorbing heavy metal ions and radioactive elements as well as selected organic substances. In this paper, the intrinsic mechanism of adsorption by composites hydroxyapatite was proved for the first time. Subsequently, selectivity and competitiveness of composites of hydroxyapatite for a variety of environments containing various interferences from cations, anions, and organic molecules are elucidated. Next, composites of hydroxyapatite were further categorized according to their morphological dimensions. Adsorption properties and intrinsic mechanisms were investigated based on different morphologies. It was shown that although composites of hydroxyapatite were characterized by excellent adsorption capacity and cost-effectiveness, their application is often challenging due to inherent fragility and agglomeration, technical problems required for their handling as well as difficulty in recycling. Finally, to address these issues, the paper discusses the tendency of hydroxyapatite composites to adsorb heavy metal ions and radioactive elements as well as the limitations of their applications. Summarizing the limitations and future directions of modification of HAP in the field of heavy metal ions and different substances contamination abatement, the paper provides insightful perspectives for its gradual improvement and rational application.

When n-alkanes or n-alcohols coexist with surfactants that have similar chain lengths, they can form mixed surface-frozen films at the oil-water interface. In this review, we first explain the basic characteristics of this surface freezing transition mainly from a thermodynamic viewpoint. Then, we discussed the effect of surface freezing of a cationic surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium chloride: CTAC) with tetradecane, hexadecane, or hexadecanol on the kinetic stability of the oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. We show that the surface frozen film not only increases the kinetic stability of the O/W emulsions but also stably encapsulates coexisting organic molecules in the oil core. Finally, we will introduce one of our recent works in which we observed that the exchange between silica nanoparticles and CTAC molecules occurs at the surface of Pickering emulsions when the oil-water interfacial tension is lowered by the surface freezing. The resulting detachment of silica particles from the oil-water interface broke the Pickering emulsion. The advantages of controlling the stability of O/W emulsions via the use of surface-frozen film are discussed in comparison with normal surfactant emulsifiers in the conclusion part of the review.

In light of escalating environmental pollution and tremendous energy shortage, the development of multifunctional materials with diverse applications across biomedical and energy production platforms has become imperative. Among this domain, nanostructured heterogeneous composites based on semiconductors are exclusively promising owing to their distinct configurations. Notably, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4 (CN)) has drawn substantial interest as a sustainable candidate with surface functionality, electron-rich nature, and interconnected conjugation system along the polymeric matrix. To address the remaining limitations in sub-optimal visible light absorption and rapid charge recombination, the decoration of plasmonic metals, particularly silver (Ag) nanostructures, on bare CN has been reported to induce considerable synergistic promotions. This review highlights the major advancements and challenges in designing silver-loaded graphitic carbon nitride (Ag/CN (ACN)). Fundamentals in typical synthetic strategies, such as hydrothermal, co-precipitation, or chemical reduction, for ACN heterostructures are summarized. The appearance of Ag also influences the inherent properties of CN, as emphasized through alterations in structural as well as electronic behaviors in many studies. We expect that this study can deepen insights into multiple extending applications of ACN regarding environmental, biological, and energy industries, thanks to its favorable well-rounded attributions.

Chronic wounds are a critical and costly complication that affects millions of patients each year, especially patients suffering from diabetes, and constitute a serious global healthcare problem that needs immediate attention. In this direction, novel dressings that can integrate appropriate physicochemical and biological features, mechanical durability, and the capacity for therapy are of great clinical importance. For instance, self-healable hydrogels, with antibacterial activity and high tissue adhesion, have attracted increasing attention for wound management applications. Despite their potential, existing self-healable hydrogel networks exhibit limitations in mechanical strength and adhesion, tissue regeneration, antibacterial efficacy, and scalability, indicating a need for further improvement in the field. This review focuses on exactly these recent advances in the field with a special focus on self-healing adhesive hydrogel-based wound dressings as well as their structures, construction strategies, adhesion mechanisms, and emerging usage in the wound healing field. By shedding light on these developments, we aim to contribute to the ongoing pursuit of enhanced solutions for chronic wound care.

Supraparticles are agglomerates of nano- and/or microparticles with sizes ranging from tens to hundreds of microns, making them more accessible for handling and recovery than the building blocks. Supraparticles not only inherit the properties and functions of primary particles but also exhibit characteristics such as high porosity, large specific surface area, and improved functionalities, which can be attributed to the synergism, coupling, and co-localization among the constituents. Therefore, supraparticles hold promising applications in catalysis, drug delivery, sensing, etc. Among the various synthesizing strategies, evaporating droplets on a liquid-repellent surface is proposed as an effective approach to fabricate supraparticles with unique structural features and functions. The boundary conditions of such droplet-confinement methods significantly drive the formation of supraparticles by reducing or avoiding the use of solvents or processing liquids, which further accelerates the development and utilization of supraparticles. This paper presents an overview of recent developments in the fabrication of supraparticles by evaporating droplets on liquid-repellent surfaces. The review focuses on the evaporation processes on lubricant and superhydrophobic surfaces, structural regulation, and applications of supraparticles. Finally, an outlook on the future directions of evaporation on liquid-repellent surfaces mediated supraparticle fabrication is presented.
