Abstract

In this study, super-hydrophobic nickel films were fabricated by a one-step electrodepositing method. Effect of current density and deposition time on corrosion and superhydrophobicity were studied. Statistical analysis were conducted by historical data analysis method. The surface morphologies of the films characterized by atomic force microscope. The surface shows hierarchical structure with micro-nanocones array, which it could be responsible for their super-hydrophobic characteristic. Electrochemical performance evaluated by EIS and potensiostate method. Results shows that the current density and deposition time have the main influences on superhydrophobicity of the coating. The Superhydrophobic surface was achieved by electrodeposition at optimum conditions.
