A Slip Enhanced Superhydrophobic Surface Based on Reticulated ZnO Nanostructure

抄録

We achieved a hierarchical reticulated ZnO nanostructure by designing a hydrothermal method combined with a low temperature dehumidification step. Compared with the traditional vertically aligned nanostructures, the obtained surface exhibits better drag reduction effect owing to the increased pitching size and reduced solid–liquid fraction. This result is meaningful to researchers in designing a suitable superhydrophobic surface to increase the slip performance in the real applications.
