The work presented is devoted to new approaches to increasing the superhydrophobic properties of coatings based on zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium dioxide (TiO<sub>2</sub>). There is an innovation in the use of inorganic coatings with a non-polar structure, high melting point, and good adhesion to ZnO, in contrast to the traditionally used polymer coatings with low performance characteristics. The maximum superhydrophobicity of the ZnO surface (contact angle of 173°) is achieved after coating with a layer of hematite (Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>). The reason for the abnormally high hydrophobicity is a combination of factors: minimization of the area of contact with water (Cassie state) and the specific microstructure of a coating with a layer of non-polar Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>. It was shown that the coating of ZnO structures with bimodal roughness with a gold (Au) layer that is 60-nm thick leads to an increase in the wetting contact angle from 145° to 168°.
