A novel integrative bioinspired surface with wettable patterns and gradient (WPGS) is proposed for fog collection via a novel anodic oxidation strategy. We study the water collection behaviors on WPGS with di?erent parameters. Quantitative force analysis is presented, providing evidence for the underlying mechanism leading to the directional motion of the droplet, which is consistent with the experimental results. Such a surface can not only improve the fog droplet capture performance e?ectively owing to wettable patterns but also accelerate surface regeneration by taking full advantage of the cooperation of multidriving forces, leading to a further fog collection enhancement.
