Superhydrophobic surface based on micro/nano structured ZnO nanosheets for high-efficiency anticorrosion

Fabrication of Superhydrophobic Surface on Anodized Aluminum Through a Wet-Chemical Route

“…Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) with water contact angles (WCA) greater than 150°and a contact angle hysteresis less than 10°s how great promise for a range of applications such as anti-icing, [1][2][3] self-cleaning, 4 anti-corrosion, [4][5][6] oil-water separation [7][8][9] and waterproof materials. 10 As of now, there are a great number of methods adopted for the fabrication of SHSs, such as chemical vapour deposition, 11 micro-arc oxidation, 12 sol-gel technique, 13 chemical etching , [14][15][16][17] solution-immersion method, 18 spin coating, 19 wetchemical grafting, 20,21 layer-by-layer self-assembly, 22,23 chemical and electrochemical deposition [24][25][26] and laser-ablation.…”
