Abstract
- A facile method was utilized for the construction of the bioinspired superhydrophobic Mg–Li alloy surfaces with peonylike micronanoscale hierarchical structures. The resultant materials were characterized by scanning electron microscope, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and water contact angle measurements. The obtained Mg–Li alloy surfaces presented the dramatically improved corrosion resistance and long-term stable superhydrophobic properties with a static water contact angle of about 160° and a small sliding angle of less than 5°, which may extend the practical application of Mg–Li alloys in industrial and high-technology fields.
