In the recent decades, superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted increasing attention in both fundamental research and practical applications due to their water-repellent and self-cleaning properties, inspired from plant leaves in nature, such as lotus leaf with special wettability and fine micro-structures on their surfaces. In this feature article, we review two classical wettability models and mainly focus on the development of the potential applications of biomimetic superhydrophobic surfaces in the last three years, including super-oil-repellent surfaces, micro-fluidics, wetting conversion, smart surfaces, and anti-icing. Finally, the promising applications of biomimetic superhydrophobic surfaces in the future are proposed.
