Preparation of superhydrophobic copper surfaces by electroplating

  • The structure of the natural superhydrohlbic surface, lotus leaf, was studied, which inspired the fabrication method of superhydrophobic surfaces. Various copper surfaces were fabricated in different current densities via electroplating. As the current density increased, the water contact angle (CA) increased first and then decreased. When the current density was about 0.08 A/cm2, the electroplated copper surface which resembled the lotus leaf reached superhydrophobic state (CA=153.5°, SA (sliding angle) = 7.9°). The surface with lotus leaf structure is superhydrophobic without any surface modification. It-s suggested that this is a meta-stable state in Cassie state. As long as the surface structure is suitable, a hydrophobic surface could be gotten, or even superhydrophobic surface, on hydrophilic materials. The hydrophobic mechanism was also analyzed. The results widen the horizon of fabricating superhydrophobic surfaces on hydrophilic materials and give light to the existing popular theories.
