Superhydrophobic pure silver surface with flower-like structures by a facile galvanic exchange reaction with [Ag(NH3)2]OH.
Superhydrophobic pure silver film composed of flower-like microstructures built by interconnected silver nanoplates on a copper plate without any modification was prepared by a facile galvanic exchange reaction between the aqueous [Ag(NH3)2]OH and the copper plate, giving rise to a contact angle as high as 157 degrees .
