Superhydrophobic surfaces are of high importance for generating self-cleaning surfaces that can also prevent corrosion, biofouling, fogging, and icing. Current superhydrophobic surfaces, often based on fluorinated compounds, pose environmental concerns, have high fabrication costs, and exhibit low s...
