“…[ 106 ] They found that the photo‐thermal de‐icing time on three different surfaces (i.e., Fe powder (PFe), PDMS/candle soot (PCS) and PFe‐PCS) is 200, 138, and 74 s, respectively ( Figure a1–a3), and the superhydrophobic surface of PFe‐PCS with double‐layer structures slows down the heat transfer and thus reduce the heat loss downward. [ 106 ] Wang et al. designed a solar thermal coating with an improved light absorption property by combining a photo‐thermal layer with a SHS.…”

Ice accretion on exposed surfaces is unavoidable as time elapses and temperature lowers sufficiently in nature, causing detrimental impacts on the normal performance of devices and facilities. To mitigate icing problems, both active de‐icing and passive anti‐icing materials (AIM) have been utilized. Traditional active anti‐icing methods suffer from energy consumption, low efficiency and high cost, while passive AIM meet the challenges of improving mechanical durability and maintaining low ice adhesion strength during icing/de‐icing cycles. Recently, new AIM are rationally designed by the combination of passive anti‐icing and active de‐icing, exhibiting efficient, reliable and energy‐saving properties. The conceptual idea is that passive AIM only need to reach a certain value of ice adhesion strength (i.e., τice<100 kPa) instead of achieving lowest ice adhesion strength, and simultaneously combine with active de‐icing techniques (i.e., electro‐thermal and photo‐thermal stimulus) to realize ideal all‐weather anti‐icing/de‐icing. In this review paper, the authors provide a brief introduction to passive AIM, and mainly focus on recent advances in the electro‐/photo‐thermal promoted AIM in terms of anti‐icing/de‐icing mechanisms, challenges and perspectives. The new conceptual anti‐icing/de‐icing strategy will inspire the rational design of the state‐of‐the‐art AIM in future and provides practical solutions to mitigate outdoor anti‐icing/de‐icing problems in daily lives.

“…Superhydrophobic surfaces, slick surfaces, antifreeze compounds, and polyelectrolyte brush coatings are only a few examples. [181][182][183][184] However, the efficiency of these passive anti-icing methods is too low, as none of these solar antiicing or deicing devices take the spectrum properties of thermal radiation into account. In fact, heat leakage from the absorber to the environment is nonnegligible, severely reducing the total efficiency of solar absorbers.…”

Solar selective absorbers (SSAs) possess high sunlight absorption (300–2500 nm) and low infrared thermal radiative losses (2.5–25 μm), which are undoubtedly the best choice for photothermal conversion process, and SSAs have been widely used in concentrating solar power, solar water heating, and solar drying. Recently, to promote the realization of “double carbon” goal, SSAs have received widespread attentions, many emerging sustainable applications have been developed. In this review, the recent developments of SSAs and their latest sustainable applications in solar‐driven seawater desalination, multistage solar desalination, atmospheric water harvesting (AWH), wastewater treatment, solar thermophotovoltaics (STPVs), hybrid photovoltaic‐thermal (HPVT), solar‐thermoelectric generators (STEG), personal thermal management (PTM), photothermal catalysis, photothermal deicing, and photothermal sterilization, etc. are systematically summarized. Also, the challenges as well as future opportunities of SSAs are discussion. It is expected that this review will effectively complement the published comments on SSAs and provide more inspirations on sustainable applications of SSAs in the future.

“…During irradiation of the damaged coating with sunlight, the components of polydimethylsiloxane tend to migrate to the outer layers and, thus, restore the hydrophobicity of the material. The indisputable advantages of this coating are its magnetic response and flexibility, due to which it can be applied even on curved surfaces without the use of adhesives [ 52 ].…”

A Mini-Review on Recent Developments in Anti-Icing Methods

An aggressive impact of the formed ice on the surface of man-made objects can ultimately lead to serious consequences in their work. When icing occurs, the quality and characteristics of equipment, instruments, and building structures deteriorate, which affects the durability of their use. Delays in the adoption of measures against icing endanger the safety of air travel and road traffic. Various methods have been developed to combat de-icing, such as mechanical de-icing, the use of salts, the application of a hydrophobic coating to the surfaces, ultrasonic treatment and electric heating. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the field of anti-icing and analyze the role of various additives and their operating mechanisms.
