Unidirectional liquid spreading without energy input has plenty of promising applications such as bio-fluidics devices, bio-medical devices and self-lubrication. The secret of the fast continuous directional liquid transport on the peristome surface of Nepenthes alata was revealed-Jiang-Taylor capillary rise. This study will give new insights into the design of two-dimensional directional liquid transport.
