Superhydrophobic surfaces have already been applied in anti‐fouling, water‐oil separation, liquid transportation, etc. Surfaces can be defined as superhydrophobic surfaces once they can support a water droplet with its spherical shape maintained and accompanied by an apparent contact angle larger than 150° and a rolling‐off angle below 10°. Such water repellent property is achieved by the synergetic action of hierarchical structures and the low‐surface energy of the substances constructing the surface. Structures with high aspect ratio always perform good superhydrophobicity. However, they are usually with poor mechanical stability. Since durability is one of the essential factors for practical use, exploiting robust superhydrophobic surfaces has attracted tremendous interest. During the past decade, great effort has been made in developing self‐healing superhydrophobic surfaces to improve the potential practice and broaden the application fields. An overview of the recent development of self‐healing superhydrophobic surfaces is provided in this review. The focus here is particularly on the fabrication process based on specific healing mechanisms and possible applications. Finally, an outlook on future fabrication techniques for durable superhydrophobic surfaces is presented.

Carbon dots derived from natural sources have drawn tremendous interest due to their superior characteristics. However, it is essential to evaluate both their biological and environmental impacts on contributions and the emerging concerns.

Superhydrophobic surfaces find extensive applications in various fields, including self-cleaning, liquid manipulation, anti-icing, and water harvesting. To achieve superhydrophobicity, the surfaces are designed with hierarchical nano- and/or microscale protrusions. These structures result in a static contact angle above 150° and a sliding/rolling-off angle below 10° when water droplets deposit on the surface. The combination of hierarchical structures and low-surface energy materials contributes to this unique liquid-repellent property. In addition to liquid repellency, the durability of these surfaces is crucial for practical applications, which has prompted the exploration of stretchable superhydrophobic surfaces as a viable solution. The flexibility of these surfaces means that they are effectively safeguarded against mechanical damage and can withstand daily wear and tear. Over the last decade, considerable research has been dedicated to developing stretchable superhydrophobic surfaces to expand their potential applications. This review provides an overview of stretchable superhydrophobic surfaces, specifically emphasizing current processing strategies and their prospective applications. Additionally, we present a forward-looking perspective on future fabrication methods to create robust superhydrophobic surfaces, further enhancing their practicality and versatility.
