N2 - This paper experimentally studied the evaporation kinetics of nanofluids of varying concentrations on the superhydrophobic surfaces of well-defined micropillar structures. The results show that the surface topography (e.g., structural spacing) and nanofluids concentration have significant impacts on the evaporation kinetics (e.g., contact angle, contact line movement, and evaporation rate) and wetting dynamics (e.g., transition from a dewetting to wetting state) of the nanofluid droplets.
