The invention discloses a composite hydrophilic / hydrophobic enhanced boiling heat transfer sheet with a columnar microstructure. The composite hydrophilic / hydrophobic enhanced boiling heat transfer sheet comprises a hydrophobic region in a columnar micro-structural array and a smooth hydrophilic channel and is used for enhancing a boiling heat transfer process. The columnar microstructure of the micro-structural array can capture incondensable gas and provide a nucleation site of nucleate boiling in the boiling heat transfer process; steam bubbles grow in the hydrophobic region, slip and retain in the hydrophilic channel, gather and combine; when diameters of the steam bubbles increase to the order of magnitude of a width of the smooth hydrophilic channel, the steam bubbles separate from a smooth surface rapidly. Thus the separation of the steam bubbles is effectively promoted while the efficient heat transfer performance on the surface of the columnar microstructure is retained on a surface of the heat transfer sheet, and the wall superheat is reduced and the phenomenon of a boiling crisis is delayed.
