The construction of waterproof materials is of great technological importance in various applications. The major challenge is the scalable fabrication of the superhydrophobic materials with the desirable combination of a good thermal stability and the excellent ultraviolet-visible(UV) resistance. Here a simple, easily operating and low-cost approach for the textile with these functions is reported. After the decoration, the superhydrophobic textiles with the water contact angle(WCA) of 151.5° exhibit not only an efficient shielding property against the UV with transmittance less than 2%, but also an excellent thermal stability. More importantly, this fabric displays an outstanding potential applications in the oil reclaim, which can recycle the oil from the waste water with oil stain efficiently.
