Abstract In this study, double-layer zinc oxide was synthesized on an aluminium substrate by combining a sol-gel and a hydrothermal method. The bottom layer was flower-like and the upper layer was rod-shaped. The aluminium sheet coated with zinc oxide was infiltrated into a lubricating oil for 2 h to obtain an aluminium-based double-layer ZnO super-slippery surface. Testing showed that the surface demonstrated a good anti-fouling effect. The coating was hydrophobic and oleophobic, and even fruit juice and jam slipped down the surface at a small tilt angle (
