Condensate microdrop self-propelling (CMDSP) surfaces have attracted intensive interest. However, it is still challenging to form metal-based CMDSP surfaces. We design and fabricate a type of copper-based CMDSP porous nanoparticle film. An electrodeposition method based on control over the preferential crystal growth of isotropic nanoparticles and synergistic utilization of tiny hydrogen bubbles as pore-making templates is adopted for the insitu growth of cerium oxide porous nanoparticle films on copper surfaces. After characterizing their microscopic morphology, crystal structure and surface chemistry, we explore their CMDSP properties. The nanostructure can realize the efficient ejection of condensate microdrops with sizes below 50m.
