Abstract
Efficient methods for producing a superhydrophobic carbon nanotube (CNT) array are set forth. The methods comprise providing a vertically aligned CNT array and performing vacuum pyrolysis on the CNT array to produce a superhydrophobic CNT array. These methods have several advantages over the prior art, such as operational simplicity and efficiency.
