A highly efficient fog collection unit is fabricated by integrating artificial spider silks. The fog collection efficiency of this unit increases first and then decreases after reaching a summit with the increase of the angles between adjacent artificial spider silks. Compared with similar units consisting of smooth fibers, this unit has a much higher fog collection efficiency, especially when the air is not very humid.
