In this paper, the research progress of self-healing superhydrophobic coatings in recent years is introduced, and various preparation methods of self-healing superhydrophobic coatings are summarized. Self-healing superhydrophobic coatings mainly include extrinsic self-healing and intrinsic self-healing. The extrinsic self-healing superhydrophobic coatings initiated by pH, temperature and light are mainly introduced. The intrinsic self-healing superhydrophobic coatings focuses on the use of supramolecular polymers. Then, the application of self-healing superhydrophobic coatings in metal corrosion, self-cleaning, anti-fouling, anti-ice, oil-water separation and many other fields are summarized. Finally, the development prospect of self-healing superhydrophobic coatings is prospected.
