The research progress of self-healing superhydrophobic coating in recent years was introduced, and various preparation methods of self-healing superhydrophobic coating were 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 were mainly introduced. The intrinsic self-healing superhydrophobic coatings focused on the use of supramolecular polymer. Then, the applications of self-healing superhydrophobic coating in metal corrosion, self-cleaning, anti-fouling, anti-ice, oil-water separation and many other fields were summarized. Finally, the development prospect of self-healing superhydrophobic coating was prospected.
