• . For transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), a JEOL/JEM 2010 operated at 120 kV was used. Samples for TEM were prepared by scraping off ZnO nanorods from a glass substrate grown under similar conditions. A diluted aqueous suspension of the ZnO nanorods was carefully dropped on a copper-coated TEM grid

It became obvious that the outstanding and stable superhydrophobicity of the lotus leaf relies on the combination of optimized features such
