Nature such as plants, insects, and marine animals uses three-dimensional (3D) micro/nano-textured surfaces in their components (e.g., leaves, wings, eyes, legs, and skins) for multifunctional purposes such as self-cleaning, low-friction, antifouling, anti-icing, and anti-reflection. As scientific quests and engineering applications reach down to such a nanometer scale inspired by the nature, there is a strong need to fabricate 3D nanostructures with good regularity and controllability of their pattern, size, and shape. In many applications, furthermore, the nanostructures are not useful unless they cover a relatively large area and the manufacturing cost is within an acceptable range. The first part of this presentation describes effective 3D nano-patterning and fabrication methods to create uniform nanostructures of varying dimensions and shapes over a relatively large substrate area by exploiting several different approaches. Such large-area 3D nanostructures with modulated structural dimensions and geometries can open new application possibilities in many areas. The rest of the talk presents a few examples of novel applications using the 3D nanostructures, especially energy-related applications, including hydrodynamic drag reduction, anti-biofouling, anti-icing, and anti-corrosion. Future potential applications of the 3D nanostructures to the other areas will also be discussed, including energy conversion and harvesting.
