Liquid dynamics on a solid surface, i.e., the impact, flow, or overflow, are ubiquitous in nature and cause multifaceted problems that affect daily life. Recent studies on the role of surface superwettability in controlling liquid dynamics have attracted much attention. The role of particular surface morphologies and surface chemical compositions in manipulating the liquid impact or transport dynamics has garnered diverse scientific interests and has encouraged the widespread use of surface wettabilities in practical applications. Herein, the recent progress according to the interaction method between the liquid and solid is classified and summarized. The crucial influence of surface wettabilities and structures on liquid dynamic behaviors and a critical survey of the mechanism behind these behaviors, along with emerging applications, challenges, and perspectives, are presented.
