Cover Story: A method for the continuous generation of CNT forests stably anchored on stainless-steel surfaces is achieved using a reactive-roll-to-roll system without catalyst nanoparticles or solution processing. This enables very large surfaces to be covered with CNT forests individually anchored to the metal support. Applied to wires, this alters surface wettability, thereby enhancing their use as fog-harvesting media. Full or partial CNT forest coverage provides tuning of the ratio and shape of hydrophobic and hydrophilic zones on the surface, optimizing droplet capture and water drainage. Using harp-type harvesters enhanced with CNTs allowed fog capture at rates up to 2.2 g/cm2·h. The strong CNT anchoring provides a robust composite structure compatible with functionalization at large scales. View this paper
