Abstract:
By taking advantage of bacterial extracellular electron transfer behavior, a facile method was developed to fabricate oriented polypyrrole micro-pillars (PPy-MP) with nanoscale surface roughness. Microbes acted as a living conductive template on which PPy was in situ polymerized. The as-prepared PPy-MP exhibit the distinctive underwater low adhesive superoleophobicity which is attributable to the unique hierarchical micro/nano-structures and the high surface energy by doping with inorganic small anions.
