A superhydrophobic and corrosion-resistant coating with hierarchical macro/nanostructures was constructed by one-step electrodeposition of dodecyltrimethoxysilane (e-DTMS) on Mg alloy AZ31 in a relatively media. The surface morphology and chemical composition were characterized using field emission...
