A robust superhydrophobic anti-icing/de-icing composite coating with electrothermal and auxiliary photothermal performances

Superhydrophobic coating with a micro- and nano-sized MnO2/PDMS composite structure for passive anti-icing/active de-icing and photothermal applications

“…In particular, functional coatings inevitably work in complex environments, such as small-particle erosion or rainfall impact, in practical applications. [54][55][56] Therefore, a series of tests (resistance to sandstone impact, water-current impact, corrosion by acid, alkali and salt solution, sandpaper abrasion, and high/low temperature variations) were undertaken (Fig. 3g-i and Fig.…”

Functionalized Superhydrophobic Coatings with Electro‐Photothermal Effect for All‐Day Durable Anti‐Icing

“…To evaluate the coating's thermal performance in terms of heating and cooling resistance, a series of cycling tests were conducted, following the protocol detailed in references. [42,43] The EPS coating underwent ten cycles of alternate heating and cooling. Specifically, the tests were carried out at EPD of 0.06 W cm −2 and OPD of 0.06 W cm −2 , as depicted in Figure 7d.…”

A fabric-based superhydrophobic ACNTs/Cu/PDMS heater with an excellent electrothermal effect and deicing performance

“…This is similar to previous related studies. [58][59][60][61] In Fig. 8G, a drop of 5 mL of water is dropped onto the fabric surface at a voltage of 1.2 V, and its volume decreases gradually with time (Fig.…”
