The microdamage inevitably generated in a superhydrophobic coating is difficult to detect but can greatly reduce its superhydrophobic properties. Therefore, it is of great significance to construct superhydrophobic coatings with convenient detection/repair of microdamage to expand their wide applications. Herein, a novel fluorine-free fluorescent superhydrophobic coating was efficiently fabricated by simply spraying synthesized fluorescent hydrophobic SiO 2 (fh-SiO 2 ) on an etched copper mesh (e-CM). The constructed fh-SiO 2 /CM exhibits outstanding superhydrophobicity with a higher water contact angle (WCA > 160.2°) and a lower sliding angle (WSA < 4°). More interestingly, the fluorescence of fh-SiO 2 /CM enables the rapid visual identification of microdamage on its surface, which can then be easily repaired by respraying fh-SiO 2 . Furthermore, the fh-SiO 2 /CM also has strong surface robustness, good chemical/thermal/photostability, and antibacterial and self-cleaning properties, making fh-SiO 2 /CM successfully used for oil/water separation. Meanwhile, this strategy is simple, low-cost, and eco-friendly and can be used to construct large-scale superhydrophobic coatings on various substrates, proving its universality and practicability. This study opens an avenue for constructing novel fluoride-free superhydrophobic coatings with microdamage detection and convenient repair functions and has broad application prospects in chemistry, environment, clinical medicine, etc.
