Bio-inspired surfaces with superamphiphobic properties are well known as effective candidates for antifouling technology. However, the limitation of large-area mastering, patterning and pattern collapsing upon physical contact are the bottleneck for practical utilization in marine and medical applications. In this study, a roll-to-plate nanoimprint lithography (R2P NIL) process using Morphotonics' automated Portis NIL600 tool was used to replicate high aspect ratio (5.

The maximum methyl orange degradation activity under visible light irradiation (λ>400nm) was found for 10wt% SnS/BiOI. The composite also showed better stability and good recyclability compared to BiOI.
