To avoid the generation of hazardous, long-chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (CnF2n+1COOH, n7), we develop relatively safer superamphiphobic alumina nanofiber mats. Our fabrication process focuses on two principles: lowering the surface energy using trimethoxy(1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-nonafluorohexyl)silane (C4F9CH2CH2Si(OCH3)(3)), which has short-chain perfluoroalkyls that are relatively safer than long-chain ones; and creating a high-roughness surface from electrospun alumina nanofibers with an average fiber diameter of 155nm and inter-fiber spacing of 451nm. Such mats exhibit super-repellency for water (contact angle *=157 degrees;;, contact angle hysteresis *=2 degrees;;, advancing angle adv = 158 degrees;;, receding angle rec = 156 degrees;;), and n-hexadecane (*=151 degrees;;, *=9 degrees;;, adv = 152 degrees;;, rec = 143 degrees;;). Furthermore, superamphiphobicity is maintained up to 350 degrees;;C.
