Abstract

Double-layer ZnO containing nanoflakes and nanorods was prepared on aluminum foil by a simple one-step hydrothermal method. The aluminum foil coated with double-layer ZnO could form a slippery liquid-infused porous surface (SLIPS) by immersing the sample in an ethanol solution containing stearic acid and then in Dupont Krytox 104. The as-prepared SLIPS had a larger contact angle and a smaller sliding angle. The electrochemical measurements showed that SLIPS presented higher and more durable corrosion resistance in comparison with the bare aluminum sample (BS) and the superhydrophobic surface (SHS). These results may enhance an alternative to design SLIPS for corrosion protection of metallic surfaces.
