Abstract

Superhydrophobic surfaces exhibit significant application potential in fields such as surface engineering, applied sciences, and micro/nano manufacturing due to their exceptional anti-corrosion, self-cleaning and anti-icing properties.Therefore, the preparation of superhydrophobic surfaces and the optimization of related processes have become a research hotspot in current academic research.Among various approaches, laser processing and electrodeposition have garnered extensive attention in superhydrophobic surface fabrication due to their mature process technology.Herein, this paper systematically reviewed the current research status of laser processing,electrodeposition and their hybrid techniques for fabricating superhydrophobic surfaces.First,the definition of superhydrophobic surfaces and wettability theory were elaborated.A detailed analysis of the mechanisms governing electrodeposition and laser etching was presented, and relevant research outcomes were summarized.Second, regarding the laser-electrodeposition hybrid process, its advantages and research progress in fabricating superhydrophobic surfaces were summarized.Finally, current technical challenges in applying hybrid techniques were discussed, and future research directions were proposed.
