Problems solved by technology

Wang Tianchi et al. used lotus leaves as templates to prepare superhydrophobic carbon ceramic materials with excellent performance by dipping and sintering. However, these animal and plant leaf templates will lose part of their microstructure during the sintering process, such as lotus leaves after vacuum sintering. The microvilli on the surface no longer exist, and to a certain extent, the multilevel complexity of the original template structure is lost (Wang, T, et al. Hydrophobic properties of biomorphic carbon surfaces prepared by sintering lotus leaves. Ceram. Int. 2013, 39 ,8165–8172)

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a super-hydrophobic copper surface of a plant leaf structure. The method comprises the steps of by taking a super-hydrophobic plant leaf as a preparation template, performing sintering in a non-oxidation atmosphere firstly to obtain a carbon template of a leaf structure; then electroplating a thin copper layer on the surface of the carbon template through an electroplating method to obtain the copper surface of the plant leaf structure; and modifying the copper surface by virtue of fluorine silane, which is a low surface energy substance so as to prepare the copper surface with a super-hydrophobic performance. The copper surface prepared through the method can well reserve the microstructure of the plant leaf, the nature is used as a reference in a high degree, film forming is conducted on the surface of the plant leaf template by adopting the electroplating method, and the surface structure roughness degree is increased through electroplating copper crystal grains, so that the copper surface has the excellent super-hydrophobic performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of material preparation, and relates to a method for preparing a superhydrophobic copper surface with a plant leaf structure, in particular to a method for preparing a superhydrophobic copper surface with a plant leaf structure by electroplating. Background technique [0002] Copper and its alloys are the earliest and most widely used non-ferrous metals. They have good electrical and thermal conductivity. However, in copper parts for refrigeration, low-temperature operation and outdoor use, due to the high surface energy of copper, water molecules are easy to Adsorption and aggregation, it is easy to freeze, which seriously affects the thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity of copper products, and brings great harm to the stable operation of products and equipment. Most of the traditional anti-icing methods are based on the idea of ​​deicing and ice melting, such as thermal ice melting, overcurrent...
