Abstract

We demonstrate for the first time the fabrication of a superhydrophobic CuO coating with excellent self-cleaning ability by a custom-made jet nebulizer spray pyrolysis technique. A stable Cassie-Baxter superhydrophobic wetting state (water contact angle, ∼154°) was maintained even after high speed water jet impact on a monoclinic CuO crystallite coating, which realizes the robust feature of coating. The mist-type aerosol distribution from the nebulizer controls the resultant morphology of the CuO film, thereby tuning the superhydrophobic properties. The low-cost (∼$1) portable pocket-sized nebulizer affords reliable CuO superhydrophobic coatings on a wide range of desired host surfaces. This journal is
