Theoretical calculations suggest that creating superoleophobic surfaces would require a surface energy lower than that of any known materials. In the present work, we demonstrate micronanostructured ZnO-based surfaces displaying apparent contact angles (CA) greater than 150°, even with hexadecane (surface tension γ_1 = 27.5 mN/m). The specific ZnO microtextures were fabricated by a chemical solution method, and fluoroalkylsilane (FAS) was then used to tune the surface wettability. The combination of ZnO microtextures and FAS modification resulted in a superoleophobicity with CA for hexadecane was 154.6° (161.9° for diethylene glycol (γ_1 = 45.2 mN/m). This apparent superoleophobic behavior was induced on intrinsically oleophilic materials mainly by topography (i.e. the specific ZnO microtextures), which form a composite surface of air and solid with oil drop sitting partially on air. Such special wetting state is a metastable Cassie state. The results are expected to promote the study on self-cleaning applications, especially in the condition with oil contaminations.
