As human–machine interaction (HMI) is inseparable from our daily life, it drives people to
pursue a more convenient and intelligent way of life. Most of the traditional HMI devices are …

BACKGROUND Surfaces that control solid, liquid, or vapor accretion have numerous
applications, including self-cleaning windows and solar panels; water and fog harvesting; …

Water is the source of life and civilization, but water icing causes catastrophic damage to
human life and diverse industrial processes. Currently, superhydrophobic surfaces (inspired …

Supercooled droplet freezing on surfaces occurs frequently in nature and industry, often
adversely affecting the efficiency and reliability of technological processes. The ability of …

Using superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) with the water-repellent Cassie–Baxter (CB) state
is widely acknowledged as an effective approach for anti-icing performances. Nonetheless …

Solar anti‐/deicing can solve icing problems by converting sunlight into heat. One of the
biggest problems, which has long been plaguing the design of solar anti‐/deicing surfaces …

Passive anti-icing or icephobic superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted great interest due
to their potential multifaceted implications for the prevention and/or easy removal of …

Ice accretion has adverse effects on a range of commercial and residential activities. The
force required to remove ice from a surface is typically considered to scale with the iced …

Ice accretion may cause malfunction or serious performance degradation in outdoor facilities
and structures, such as aircraft, ship, locks and dams, offshore platforms, solar panels, wind …

Ice formation and accretion have a severe negative impact, thus creating the tremendous
demand for anti-icing/deicing surfaces. Compared with other techniques, superhydrophobic …
