Abstract: The present disclosure relates to efficient heat exchanger components, such as pipe apparatuses including the same. Methods of fabricating heat exchange components are also disclosed. A condensing apparatus can include a condenser surface having a substrate and one or more layers of graphene. The substrate can be formed of nickel and a nickel-graphene surface composite layer can be formed. The substrate-graphene composite can be highly durable, hydrophobic, and resistant to fouling. Dropwise condensation can be induced.
