The research progress of self-healing superhydrophobic materials in recent years is summarized. The preparation methods of extrinsic and intrinsic self-healing superhydrophobic materials are introduced in detail, and the functional self-healing superhydrophobic materials and their applications are also introduced. Finally, the challenges and development directions of self-healing superhydrophobic materials are pointed out. Compared with ordinary superhydrophobic materials, self-healing superhydrophobic materials have excellent surface stability and recyclability, which is beneficial to prolong the service life. In addition, the functionalization of self-healing superhydrophobic materials can further widen their applications. With the development of science and technology, self-healing superhydrophobic materials will play a key role in many fields, such as electronics, medical and health, artificial intelligence, desalination and so on.
