Fig. 6.. (a) The lab-made fog harvest device: a fog flow was produced by the humidifier to the prepared samples to harvest water and transport water into the container below. (b) WHR value of all samples. (c) WHW (water harvesting weight) tests of 8 samples during a period of 8 h. (d) WHR on the sample of Cu-SHB-SHL fabric for 10 cycles of fog-harvesting processes. Insets in d are optical WCAs images on the superhydrophobic areas. The size of all samples are 3 cm × 3 cm.
