Fabrication of Nanostructured Ni Film with Superhydrophobic Property

Abstract:

Superhydrophobic film materials have recieved intensive attention owing to their wide applications in different areas. In the present study, nanostructured Ni film has been successfully fabricated with the assistance of an external magnetic field. X-ray diffraction analysis demonstrates that the as-prepared Ni film is presented in face-centered cubic phase and elmentary analysis indicates the as-prepared Ni film is pure Ni. It is found that ethanol in the reaction solution plays a key role in determing the morpholgy of the final products and ethanol is unfavourable for the formation of Ni film. The static contact angles of water on the as-prepared Ni film can reach ca. 146 ^o, implying that the film exhibits superhydrophobic property.
