Many existing hydrophobic coatings either have low transmittance which is not suitable for windows and solar panels or not as hydrophobic as lotus leaves. In this paper, high quality SiO2 based hypertransparent superhydrophobic coatings with hierarchical microstructure were successfully deposited onto glass by the Combustion Chemical Vapor Deposition (CCVD) technique.
