Biomimetic polymer nanocone films with condensate microdrop self‐removal function can be obtained by controlled chemical etching of hexagonally packed nanonipples followed by hydrophobicization treatment. The sharpening of nanonipples can greatly reduce solid–liquid interface adhesion so as to ensure the effective self‐removal of condensate microdrops via the coalescence‐released weak surface energy.
