A facile, environmentally-benign, and cost-effective fabrication of superhydrophobic surface is proposed.
The approach relies on salt-dissolution-assisted selective surface etching process.
The superhydrophobic surfaces possessing self-cleaning abilities can be easily fabricated through the proposed method.
The fabricated superhydrophobic surfaces has stable corrosive liquid resistant characteristics.
The approach enables direct drawing of superhydrophobic patterns without the use of expensive tooling and lithographic masks.
