Abstract  

A micro-nano superhydrophobic nickel coating was prepared on 316L stainless steel in electrolyte of NiCl26H2O 1 mol/L, H3BO3 0.5 mol/L and ethylenediamine dihydrochloride 0.5~2.5 mol/L via a two-step electrodeposition process, namely, the first electrodeposition was performed by current density of 5 Adm-2 for 480 s in the electrolyte with 1.5 mol/L crystallization regulator, while the second electrodeposition was conducted by current density of 10 Adm-2 for 60 s. The prepared micro-nano superhydrophobic coating was characterized by means of surface analysis, electrochemical tests, and contact angle measurements. Results show that the micro-nano superhydrophobic coating presents typical needle-cone array structure with preferential orientation (110) plane and well superhydrophobic performance. With the increasing current density in the second electrodeposion step, the needle-cone array structure transforms gradually in petal-shaped hierarchical structure.
