Ordered honeycomb-patterned films have important applications in patterned templates, photonic or optoelectronic devices, catalysis, sensors, and so on. Among those techniques for the fabrication of honeycomb structured films, the breath figure is proved to be an effective dynamic template method through providing a humid condition to the surface of polymer solution in a volatile solvent. The condensed water droplets caused by rapid cooling due to solvent evaporation self-organize into a well ordered hexagonal array that acts as the template directing the formation of ordered honeycomb-patterned structure. The breath figure technique has attracted considerable attention over recent years due to its facility, speedness, cheapness, and the automatic remove of the condensed water droplets. And the size of the pore structure can be easily adjusted by changing the correlative experimental parameters. This paper reviews the breath figure method, discusses the formation mechanism and the effects of the correlative experimental parameters on the structures of the formed honeycomb-patterned films, and summarizes the diverse functional materials applied in this breath figure method, the methods used to enhance the stability of the porous films, the introduction of substructures into the honeycomb-patterned films in view of the further applications of the honeycomb-patterned films. Finally, the development trend of this breath figure method for the preparation of ordered honeycomb-patterned films is prospected.
