A rapid one-step process for fabrication of superhydrophobic surface by electrodeposition method

Facile fabrication of superhydrophobic cerium coating with micro-nano flower-like structure and excellent corrosion resistance

“…In the low-frequency region, the peak at 1701 cm -1 that is attributed to the carboxyl group (-COO) in myristic acid was disappeared in the superhydrophobic surface. However, a new absorption peak at 1528 cm -1 that stemmed from the coordinated COO functional groups was found in the spectrum of the superhydrophobic surface [17]. In addition, two absorption peaks at 2850 cm -1 and 2918 cm -1 observed in the high-frequency region of the superhydrophobic surface were ascribed to the methylene and methyl symmetric stretches of myristic acid.…”

“…Furthermore, the micro-nanostructure array can be easily controlled by simply adjusting the electrodeposition parameters. Chen et al [17] developed a rapid one-step electrodepositing process to fabricate superhydrophobic cathodic surface on copper (Cu) plate from an electrolytic solution containing nickel chloride, myristic acid and ethanol. Hang et al [20] also fabricated superhydrophobic nickel films on the Cu plate by electrodepositing method.…”

“…However, some of the fabrication techniques for making superhydrophobic surfaces are involved in severe conditions, such as specialized equipment, a kind of substrate materials and complex multi-step processing, which limits their practical implementation in applications. Due to the facile, low cost and suitable for industrial applications, electrodeposition is thought to be an effective technique for constructing artificial superhydrophobic surface [17][18][19][20]. Furthermore, the micro-nanostructure array can be easily controlled by simply adjusting the electrodeposition parameters.…”

Fabrication of self-cleaning superhydrophobic surface on aluminum alloys with excellent corrosion resistance

“…Such surface has attracted a great deal of interest in both fundamental research and practical applications due to its unique characteristics such as selfcleaning [4][5][6], water repellency [7], anti-icing [8][9][10], anti-corrosion [11][12][13] and oil-water separation [14][15][16]. The key factor to construct a superhydrophobic surface is the existence of a low energy layer on a rough hierarchical structure [17][18][19][20][21]. So far, a large number of approaches have been successfully used to develop superhydrophobic surfaces, including chemical vapour deposition [22], chemical etching [23], sol-gel [24], solution immersion [25], hydrothermal synthesis [26],and laser fabrication [27], etc.…”

One-step electrodeposition of a self-cleaning and corrosion resistant Ni/WS2superhydrophobic surface

“…14 18 Tian et al fabricated a superhydrophobic nickel surface by coupling electro and electroless deposition. 19 Liang et al and Chen et al modified the superhydrophobic nickel-based coating using organic FAS-13 15 and myristic acid 20 respectively. In summary, these coatings were prepared either by relatively complex electrodeposition (i.e.…”
