摘要
ZnO thin films were prepared by a chemical etching method and their wettability was investigated. The structure and surface composition structure were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectronic spectrometry（XPS）, X-ray diffraction（XRD） and Raman spectrometry. These analyses reveal that the etched films were large-scale micro-nanohierarchical structures composed of a Zn core and a ZnO coating. Superhy- drophobic surfaces with water contact angles of over 150~ were obtained by n-octadecanethiol（ODT） modification. The XPS and Raman results indicate that ODT molecules were bound to the ZnO surface with the S head group by forming Zn--S bond.
