Abstract

A superhydrophobic copper coating was prepared by combining ionic liquid copper electrodeposition and a brief stearic acid modification process. After modification, the copper stearic acid was well formed and flower-like clusters were present on the surface of the superhydrophobic coating. Finally, the surface of the sample exhibits a good superhydrophobic performance with a contact angle of 158° and obvious self-cleaning behavior. The results of potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance measurements revealed that the presence of a superhydrophobic surface could improve the anti-corrosion property of the samples.
