Abstract

A rapid, facile, one-step process was developed to fabricate Co-based superhydrophobic powder coatings on the stainless steel surfaces with a nonaqueous electrolyte by the electrodeposition method. The structure and composition of the superhydrophobic surfaces were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and contact angle measurement. The results show that the special hierarchical structures along with the low surface energy lead to the high superhydrophobicity of the substrate surface. The shortest process of constructing the superhydrophobic surface is only 30 seconds, the high contact angle is greater than 160°, and the rolling angle is less than 2°. The method can be used to fabricate the superhydrophobic powder coatings at any conductive cathodic surface, and the as-prepared superhydrophobic powder coatings have advantages of transferability, repairability, and durability. It is expected that this facile method will accelerate the large-scale production of superhydrophobic material.
