Wettability transition of metallic surfaces from laser-generated superhydrophilicity to water-induced superhydrophobicity via a facile and eco-friendly strategy

Superhydrophobic metallic surfaces exhibit superior self-cleaning and anti-corrosion properties, but facile and pollution-free preparation of such surfaces remains a challenge. Herein, we propose an eco-friendly strategy by using ns-laser treatment followed by simple hygrothermal treatment (95%RH @...
