Abstract

Abstract The development of scalable and passive coatings that can adapt to seasonal temperature changes while maintaining superhydrophobic self‐cleaning functions is crucial for their practical applications. However, the incorporation of passive cooling and heating functions with conflicting optical properties in a superhydrophobic coating is still challenging. Herein, an all‐in‐one coating inspired by the hierarchical structure of a lotus leaf that combines surface wettability, optical structure, and temperature self‐adaptation is obtained through a simple one‐step phase separation process. This coating exhibits an asymmetrical gradient structure with surface‐embedded hydrophobic SiO 2 particles and…
