Evaporation patterns of liquid droplets containing nanoparticles or colloids have extensive applications in diagnostics and printing. Controlling these patterns by studying the evaporation behavior of colloidal droplets on surfaces is important for enhancing sensing platforms. In this study, A liquid‐repellent microcavity surface is introduced to robustly capture deposited analytic particles. The proposed microcavity surface maintains stable air pockets for liquid repellency and strong pinning for the spatial stabilization of the evaporating droplet, thereby resulting in a coffee‐ring concentration. This microcavity surface also acts as a “microcontainer” for the deposited particles, thereby protecting them against external damage. To demonstrate the multifaceted capabilities of microcavity surfaces, further comparison is done of three different surface structures, planar, micropillared, and that with microcavities in a hexagonal arrangement, by analyzing their evaporation dynamics and dried deposit patterns. The microcavity surface exhibits superior particle capture, thereby revealing its applicability in on‐site testing. Using the direct rapid sampling of analytical materials, the potential of the fabricated microcavity surface for point‐of‐care testing is demonstrated. The proposed microcavity surfaces suggest new avenues for the development of more robust and sensitive sensing platforms. |
