Abstract

This work presents a nanosecond pulsed laser treatment of silicon surfaces aimed at creating superhydrophilic structures. As a result, two types of surfaces were formed: GraySi and BlackSi, which differ in micromorphology and exhibit superhydrophilic properties. Additional modification of the BlackSi surface by zinc oxide (ZnO) deposition allowed for the formation of a uniform nanostructured layer, leading to a significant improvement of the material’s wicking capability. A quantitative evaluation of the wicking capability of the structures was carried out based on the Wi number, which was 1.9 for GraySi, 2.3 for BlackSi, and 3.6 for BlackSi+ZnO.
