Controllable BaF2 microcrystals with super-hydrophobic property have been successfully synthesized via a facile hydrothermal process. XRD, SEM and CA are used to study the structure, morphology and the hydrophobic properties of the BaF2 materials. The effects of reaction time, surfactants and pH are also detailed investigated in order to get a series of accurate reaction conditions for the preparation of BaF2 material. The results show that uniform BaF2 tetragonal phase structure was fabricated when the reaction temperature was controlled at 180 oC for 24 h. In addition, the BaF2 materials showed excellent super-hydrophobic properties. The results about the influence of time and substrates exhibit that the sample can maintain the stable super-hydrophobic property for over 10 days. As a promising super hydrophobic materials, the studies of BaF2 reported in this paper is quite practical and it has a certain guiding meaning for the future study about super hydrophobic materials.
