The invention discloses a transparent super-hydrophobic nano-array and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly coating the surface of a substrate with zinc oxide seed crystal sol by virtue of a spin coating method or a spray coating method, so as to obtain a uniform nano-seed crystal layer; then controlling the hanging altitude and the position in a low-concentration growth solution prepared from KOH and Zn(NO3)2 by virtue of a vertical cotton thread hanging technique, so as to obtain a transparent zinc oxide nano-array, and carrying out fluorination to construct excellent super-hydrophobicity; and carrying out double-surface coating, sintering and growth on the substrate, so as to obtain the transparent super-hydrophobic nano-array on two surfaces of the substrate. Liquid drops with condensed and frosted surfaces are of a sphere shape, small in sizes, extremely easy to combine and bounce, high in desorption rate and low in coverage rate, present excellent frosting resistance and have important application prospects in products of building exterior glass, solar cells, automotive glass and the like, and furthermore, concepts can be provided for application of dropwise condensation, frosting resisting, freezing resisting and the like.
