Abstract
In this study, we developed a one-step method for fabricating hydrophobic surfaces on copper (Cu) substrates. Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) with low free energy was successfully formed after low-fluence laser direct irradiation. The formation of Cu2O enhanced the hydrophobicity of the Cu substrate surface, and the contact angle linearly increased with the proportion of Cu2O. The Cu2O fabricated by low-fluence laser treatment showed the same crystal plane orientation as the pristine Cu substrate, implying an epitaxial growth of Cu2O on a Cu substrate.
