Surfaces with special wettability have important applications,such as liquid transportation, paints, waterproof, building and bioengineering. Superhydrophilicity,a typical and special wettability with a water contact angle close to 0°, endows the surface antifogging and self-cleaning properties, which show promising utilizations in industry and daily life. In this review, the recent progresses in the preparation of superhydrophilic surfaces are summarized, and other related research topics such as superhydrophilic/superhydrophobic reversible wettability, superhydrophilic/ superhydrophobic patterned wettability and gradient wettability from superhydrophilic to superhydrophobic are also mentioned. Finally, the potential application of superhydrophilic surfaces and the developing prospects are proposed.
