Abstract
Grid-structured ZnO microsphere arrays assembled by uniform ZnO nanorods were fabricated by noncatalytic chemical vapor deposition, taking advantage of morphologies of alumina nanowire pyramid substrates and ZnO oriented growth habits. Every ZnO microsphere (similar to the micropapilla on a lotus leaf surface) is assembled by over 200 various oriented ZnO nanorods (similar to the hairlike nanostructures on mircopapilla of a lotus leaf). This lotus-leaf-like ZnO micro-nanostructure films reveal superhydrophobicity and ultrastrong adhesive force to liquid. The realization of this hierarchical ZnO nanostructure film could be important for further understanding wettability of biological surfaces with micro-nanostructure and application in microfluidic devices.
