We employed a scanning probe-based lithography process on single-crystalline Si(100), Si(110), and Si(111) surfaces and studied the effects of crystallographic surface structures on mechanochemical etching of silicon in liquid water. The facet angle and etching rate of the mechanochemical process were different from those of the purely chemical etching process. In liquid water, the shape of the mechanochemically etched nanochannel appeared to be governed by thermodynamics of the etched surface, rather than stress distribution. Analyzing the etch rate with the mechanically assisted Arrhenius-type kinetics model showed that the shear-induced hydrolysis activity varies drastically with the crystallographic structure of silicon surface.

Two-dimensional (2D) MXenes sheet-like micro-structures have attracted attention as an effective electrochemical energy storage material due to their efficient electrolyte/cation interfacial charge transports inside the 2D sheets which results in ultrahigh rate capability and high volumetric capacitance. In this article, TiCT MXene is prepared by a combination of ball milling and chemical etching from TiAlC powder. The effects of ball milling and etching duration on the physiochemical properties are also explored, as well as the electrochemical performance of as-prepared TiC MXene.

The cost-effective and facile fabrication of nanostructured germanium for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) remains a grand challenge. Herein, nanoporous Z-Ge was generated a facile two-step mechanochemical-etching reaction with MgGe and ZnCl. The prepared nanoporous Ge nanoparticles, as the anode for Li-Ge half cells, showed superior LIB performance, in terms of a high capacity, good rate capability, and good long-term stability of 700 cycles.

Bioinspired superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted great interest due to their special functions and wide applications. However, it is still a big challenge to construct a durable superhydrophobic coating for large-scale applications due to its easy destruction by the mechanochemical attack. In this mini-review, we present the state-of-the-art developments in the rational design of mechanochemical durable and self-healing superhydrophobic surfaces.

Hypothesis: Non-wettable fabric surfaces with excellent mechanochemical robustness for practical applications have attracted much attention from researchers in recent years. However, such surfaces suffer from stability issues when exposed to harsh environments because of the weak bonding of the functional materials.
Experiments: A unique facile approach is proposed to enhance the adhesion strength and hydrophobicity by improving the hierarchal roughness and opposite charge attraction using alkali and cationized bovine serum albumin (cBSA) respectively.
