Summary:The effect of enhancement the hydrophobic properties of the ensemble of micro- and nanostructures ZnO as a result of coating with gold was discovered. For the first time, it has been shown that coating the ensemble with a micro- and nanoparticle ZnO layer of gold leads to a sharp increase in the wetting edge angle from 145° to 168° (water drop volume 5 mm 3 ) and a decrease in the hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity transition time under ultraviolet irradiation.
