abstract = "The ZnO nanostructures were synthesized on Si(100) substrates by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Different Morphologies of ZnO nanostructures, such as nanoparticle film, micro-pillar and micro-nano multi-structure, were obtained with different conditions. The results of XRD
and TEM showed the good quality of ZnO crystal growth. Selected area electron diffraction analysis indicates the individual nano-wire is single crystal. The wettability of ZnO was studied by contact angle admeasuring apparatus. We found that the wettability can be changed from hydrophobic
to super-hydrophobic when the structure changed from smooth particle film to single micro-pillar, nano-wire and micro-nano multi-scale structure. Compared with the particle film with contact angle (CA) of 90.7\textdegree, the CA of single scale microstructure and sparse micro-nano multi-scale structure
is 130140\textdegree, 140150\textdegree respectively. But when the surface is dense micro-nano multi-scale structure such as nano-lawn, the CA can reach to 168.2\textdegree. The results indicate that microstructure of surface is very important to the surface wettability. The wettability on the
micro-nano multi-structure is better than single-scale structure, and that of dense micro-nano multi-structure is better than sparse multi-structure.",
