Well-ordered TiO2 nanostructure on Cu metal surface through e-beam evaporator. Excellent nucleate pool boiling heat transfer through TiO2 nanostructured surfaces. Formation of deep cavities and nucleation sites on TiO2 surfaces favoring the nucleate boiling. Remarkable enhancement of boiling heat transfer coefficient with TiO2 nanostructure coating. Excellent stability of the nanostructured TiO2 surfaces in hydrothermal environment.
