Fabrication of self-cleaning super-hydrophobic nickel/graphene hybrid film with improved corrosion resistance on mild steel

The nickel/graphene hybrid super-hydrophobic surface was successfully fabricated on mild steel via electro-deposition method and afterward modified by myristic acid. The result showed that the hierarchical nickel/graphene film was well formed with random nano-nickel-cones array on every micro-graphene-protrusion.163
