Due to the presence of micro-nano hierarchical structures on superhydrophobic surfaces, light scattering behavior is affected, thereby significantly impacting surface transparency. The construction of surfaces with both excellent superhydrophobicity and high transparency has long been a crucial research challenge. Here, we have developed a transparent superhydrophobic coating using a combination of hydrophobic fumed silica and waterborne polyurethane through a facile spray-coating technique. The coating exhibited superior water-repellency, extremely low interfacial adhesion, self-cleaning, and high transparency, with the light transmittance of the coated glass substrate reaching 96.1% of that of the bare glass substrate.
