The formation and accumulation of ice on various exposed surfaces are common and
unavoidable phenomena, which have detrimental effects on industrial production and daily …

Amidst the burgeoning interest in multifunctional superhydrophobic wood-based composites
(SWBCs) for their varied applications and the need for improved environmental resilience …

Photothermal anti-/de-icing materials (PA/DIMs) have attracted significant attention due to
their potential in addressing surface ice formation. To date, improved durability and harsh …

Superhydrophobic surfaces offer notable advantages, including markedly low water affinity
and reduced ice adhesion strength. Nevertheless, their practical utility is impeded by their …

Because 304 stainless steel is extensively used in everyday life, surface icing frost would
cause annoyance; thus, the research on 304 stainless steel with frost inhibition is quite …

In this paper, 304 stainless steel-based ZnO (304SS-based ZnO) seed layer was prepared
by using sol-gel method or electrochemical deposition. Superhydrophobic nano-ZnO (CSS …

Plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs), such as Au, Ag, and Cu, are considered as promising
photothermal materials and attract extensive attention for freshwater production by solar …

Facing the problems of fossil energy shortage and solid surface icing, the use of solar
energy to remove surface ice accumulation is a promising solution. Here, we propose a …

Ice accretion can significantly impact the efficiency and safety of outdoor equipment. Solar‐
thermal superhydrophobic surface is an effective strategy for anti‐icing and deicing …

Deicing and anti-icing on the surface, such as train tracks, highways, airports, aircraft, cars,
ships, wind turbines, and outdoor cables, represent a significant challenge. Many different …
