A method for hydrophilic treatment of a surface of a material includes the following steps: providing the material having the surface; and applying laser beams produced by a laser source to the surface of the material to form a hydrophilic nanostructure thereat. The nanostructure has a plurality of regular, repeating units. A pitch between adjacent units is in the range from 10 nanometers to 500 nanometers. A height of each unit is in the range from 10 nanometers to 100 nanometers. A surface roughness of the treated material is in the range from 1 nanometer to 10 nanometers. Each unit can be sawtooth-shaped, hump-shaped, square-shaped, step-shaped, or multi-step shaped. Because the nanostructure is directly formed as part of the surface of the material, a contact angle of water droplets is reduced to a small contact angle. Thus, the surface of the material can remain hydrophilic for a long time.
