Research Progress in Transparent Superhydrophobic Materials
Superhydrophobic surfaces are widely used in many fields,including self-cleaning,anti-corrosion,anti-icing,and drag reduction during fluid transport.Transparent superhydrophobic surfaces have many applications,such as self-cleaning potential applications in solar photovoltaic panels and other optical fields.In this paper,the related theories of transparent superhydrophobicity are first introduced,and then the common methods for preparing superhydrophobic surfaces are summarized.The different materials used to construct roughness,such as SiO2,TiO2,etc.,are summarized and their advantages and disadvantages are analyzed.Finally,the application prospect of transparent superhydrophobicity is briefly introduced,and its research direction is prospected.
