Abstract

A facile and novel method was developed to fabricate rough Co3O4 surface with hierarchical micro and nano structures by the combination of simple sol–gel reactions and coating process. In this method, first we prepared Co3O4 nanoparticles via sol–gel method and then coated them on the glass substrate. As-prepared layer was superhydrophilic. After modification with stearic acid, a superhydrophobic surface with water contact angle of 153.45° and sliding angle of 2.5° was obtained.
