Abstract

Superhydrophobic Sb2O3 films with micro–nanoscale hierarchical structures have been successfully synthesized for thefirst time. The resultant materials were characterized in detail by x-ray diffraction, scanningelectron microscopy, energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopyand water contact angle measurements. The water static contact angle of the obtainedSb2O3 film is about159° ± 2° and the slidingangle is less than 5°. Reasonable mechanisms for the formation of micro–nanoscale hierarchical structures andfor the superhydrophobic properties with a small sliding angle of the obtainedSb2O3 film are also presented in this work.
