Abstract
Icing and fogging on optical material surfaces bring various problems in daily life. Recently, some photothermal coatings have been reported to prevent the condensation or freeze of water droplets by increasing the surface temperature. However, it is a great challenge to apply them in practical conditions due to their opaqueness and poor mechanical wear-resistant property. In this work, we constructed a robust transparent photothermal omniphobic coating with a simple dip-coating technique. In the coating system, photothermal polypyrrole nanoparticles are introduced into inorganic silica networks, and then polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) brushes were grafted on the inorganic silica layer to endow the surface with omniphobicity and stain resistance. The transparency and photothermal capacity of the coating can be regulated by the deposition times of the coating. In addition, the coating has an excellent anti/deicing property and reduces ice adhesion obviously due to the existence of "liquid-like" PDMS brushes. More importantly, the coating presents outstanding mechanical wear-resistant and self-lubricating properties that can endure several thousand friction cycles without performance loss. The mechanically robust photothermal omniphobic coating gives a feasible approach to anti-icing and antifogging of transparent substrates under sunlight irradiation.

Abstract
Anti/deicing coatings that combine active and passive methods can utilize various energy sources to achieve anti/deicing effects. However, poor photothermal or electrothermal performance and inevitable heat loss often reduce their anti/deicing efficiency. Herein, copper sulfide loaded activated biochar (AC@CuS) as photo/electric material, polydimethylsiloxane as hydrophobic component, thermally expandable microspheres as foaming agent, and an anti/deicing coating integrating thermal insulation, superhydrophobicity, photo/electrothermal effects was successfully constructed. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of superhydrophobicity and thermal insulation, the freezing time of water droplets on the coating surface is extended from 150 to 2140 s, showing excellent passive anti-icing performance. AC@CuS exhibits photo/electrothermal effects, and porous expanded microspheres reduce heat loss, which endows the coating with desirable photo/electrothermal conversion performance. Under the conditions of 0.2 W/cm2 electric power density (EPD) and 0.1 W/cm2 optical power density (OPD), the temperature of the coating increases from 24 to 96.4 and 113 °C, respectively. Interestingly, with a coheating of 0.05 W/cm2 weaker OPD and 0.05 W/cm2 lower EPD, the ice on the coating surface can be quickly melted in 2.5 min, showing synergistic deicing performance. In addition, the WCA of the prepared coating remains above 150° after mechanical damage, rain impact, UV irradiation, chemical corrosion, and high-temperature treatment, and good superhydrophobic durability ensures the anti/deicing durability of the coating.

Abstract
Icing negatively impacts various industrial sectors and daily life, often leading to severe safety problems and substantial economic losses. In this work, a fluorinated resin coating with embedded graphene nanoflakes is prepared using a spin-coating curing process. The results shows that the ice adhesion strength is reduced by ≈97.0% compared to the mirrored aluminum plate, and the icing time is delayed by a factor of 46.3 under simulated solar radiation power of 96 mW cm-2 (1 sun) at an ambient temperature of -15 °C. The superior anti/de-icing properties of the coating are mainly attributed to the synergistic effect of the fluorinated resin with a low surface energy, the rough structure of the sandblasted aluminum plate, which reduces the contact area, and the embedded graphene nanoflakes with a superior photothermal effect. Furthermore, the hydrogen bonding competition effect between the exposed-edge oxygen-containing functional groups of the embedded graphene nanoflakes and water molecules further improves the anti-icing properties. This work proposes a facile preparation method to prepare coatings with excellent anti/de-icing properties, offering significant potential for large-scale engineering applications.

Abstract
Ice accretion always brings much inconvenience in the field of production and life. How to anti-ice or de-ice easily on solid surfaces becomes research focus in the engineering material fields. In this work, a kind of photo-thermal superhydrophobic polyurethane sponge (PSP-SPONGE) was developed by depositing Fe3O4 nanoparticles and polydopamine and simple fluorination treatment to realize anti-icing and de-icing fast under faint sunlight irradiation. Utilizing the thermal insulation of porous PSP-SPONGE, the photo-thermal energy was located at the sunlight irradiation area, which heated PSP-SPONGE surface rapidly under sunlight irradiation in cold surroundings. Water droplets on PSP-SPONGE surface would never freeze under faint 0.3 kW/m2 ("0.3 sun") sunlight illumination in -30 °C damp surroundings, and the ice melts entirely within 18 min under "1 sun" illumination. Furthermore, PSP-SPONGE has excellent self-cleaning and self-healing properties that can cope with the complex and volatile natural environment to guarantee durable anti-icing and de-icing performances. The simulated outdoor snow removal test also proved that snow on PSP-SPONGE surface could melt under "0.5 sun" sunlight illumination in -30 °C damp surroundings. The PSP-SPONGE fabricated with simple preparation and easy access has wide application prospects in anti-icing and de-icing.

Abstract
Droplets impacting superhydrophobic surfaces have been extensively studied due to their compelling scientific insights and important industrial applications. In these cases, the commonly reported impact regime was that of complete rebound. This impact regime strongly depends on the nature of the superhydrophobic surface. Here, we report the dynamics of droplets impacting three hydrophobic slippery surfaces, which have fundamental differences in normal liquid adhesion and lateral static and kinetic liquid friction. For an air cushion-like (super)hydrophobic solid surface (Aerogel) with low adhesion and low static and low kinetic friction, complete rebound can start at a very low Weber (We) number (∼1). For slippery liquid-infused porous (SLIP) surfaces with high adhesion and low static and low kinetic friction, complete rebound only occurs at a much higher We number (>5). For a slippery omniphobic covalently attached liquid-like (SOCAL) solid surface, with high adhesion and low static friction similar to SLIPS but higher kinetic friction, complete rebound was not observed, even for a We as high as 200. Furthermore, the droplet ejection volume after impacting the Aerogel surface is 100% across the whole range of We numbers tested compared to other surfaces. In contrast, droplet ejection for SLIPs was only observed consistently when the We was above 5-10. For SOCAL, 100% (or near 100%) ejection volume was not observed even at the highest We number tested here (∼200). This suggests that droplets impacting our (super)hydrophobic Aerogel and SLIPS lose less kinetic energy. These insights into the differences between normal adhesion and lateral friction properties can be used to inform the selection of surface properties to achieve the most desirable droplet impact characteristics to fulfill a wide range of applications, such as deicing, inkjet printing, and microelectronics.

Abstract
Photothermal deicing is a noncontact, economically, efficient, and environmentally friendly melting/preventing ice method. Obtaining a cheap, easily fabricated material with high photothermal conversion and deicing efficiency is a challenge. Here, carbon-based photothermal superhydrophobic materials with thermal insulation micropores were prepared by using the salt-template. We demonstrate that the microholes array structure can enhance light absorption and hydrophobicity of the material, and the micropores structure can inhibit the heat transfer from the surface to the subcooled substrate, which synergistically greatly enhances the photothermal conversion. A heat transfer model was established to clarify the influence mechanisms of air cushion on interfacial heat transfer during the photothermal anti-icing and deicing process. The self-cleaning, flexibility, mechanical, and chemical stability tests show that the material has the potential for outdoor application. The prepared materials with high photothermal deicing efficiency provide a new way for the anti-icing and deicing of outdoor equipment.

Abstract
The need for improved anti-icing surfaces is the demand of the time and closely related to many important aspects of our lives as surface icing threatens not only industrial production but also human safety. Freezing on a cold surface is usually a heterogeneous nucleation process induced by the substrate. Creating an anti-icing surface is mainly achieved by changing surface morphology and chemistry to regulate the interaction between the surface and the water/ice to inhibit freezing on the surface. In this paper, recent research progress in the creation of biomimetic anti-icing surfaces is reviewed. Firstly, basic strategies of bionic anti-icing are introduced, and then bionic anti-icing surface strategies are reviewed according to four aspects: the process of ice formation, including condensate self-removing, inhibiting ice nucleation, reducing ice adhesion, and melting accumulated ice on the surface. The remaining challenges and the direction of future development of biomimetic anti-icing surfaces are also discussed.

Abstract
Although advances in industrial products have brought convenience to our lives, severe weather has increased the safety risks to industrial facilities. Considerable efforts have been made to develop high-performance superhydrophobic anti-icing coatings. Nevertheless, designing a functional coating with both anti-icing properties and self-deicing remains a major challenge. Here, we propose a design strategy to exploit a photothermal superhydrophobic multifunctional coating with excellent anti-icing and deicing properties based on MXene by high-temperature sintering and layer-by-layer coating. Specifically, poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) particles provide low surface energy and binding effects. Room-temperature-vulcanized silicone rubber (RTV) enhances the dispersion of the composite particles and the adhesion of the functional coating to a glass substrate. Furthermore, the functional coatings constructed with MXene exhibit outstanding photothermal effects, imparting excellent superhydrophobicity (CA = 160.18°, SA = 1.8°) and efficient photothermal conversion (equilibrium temperature of 109.3 °C). An anti-icing/deicing test is simulated to confirm their efficient anti-icing/deicing performance in practical applications. Overall, the functional coatings designed in this work can be applied in real industrial facilities.

Abstract
Accumulation of snow and ice often causes problems and even dangerous situations for both industry and the general population. Passive de-icing technologies, e.g., hydrophobic, liquid-infused bionic surfaces, have attracted more and more attention compared with active de-icing technologies, e.g., electric heating, hot air heating, due to the passive de-icing technology's lower energy consumption and sustainability footprint. Using passive de-icing coatings seems to be one of the most promising solutions. However, the previously reported de-icing coatings suffer from high ice adhesion strength or short service life caused by wear. An intrinsic self-healing material based on poly-silicone-urea is developed in this work to address these problems. The material is prepared by introducing dynamic disulfide bonds into the hard phase of the polymer. Experimental results indicate that this poly-silicone-urea has a self-healing efficiency of close to 99%. More interestingly, it is found that the coating prepared from this poly-silicone-urea has a super low ice adhesion force, only 7 ± 1 kPa, which is almost the lowest value compared with previous intrinsic self-healing de-/anti-icing reports. This material can maintain low ice adhesion strength after healing. This intrinsic self-healing poly-silicone-urea can meet several practical applications, opening the door for future sustainable anti-/de-icing technologies.

Abstract
A photo-thermal anti-icing/de-icing SLIPS coating is designed based on porous light-responsive MOFs. Due to the strong light absorption and high light-thermal conversion, the as-synthetic SCMOFs exhibited prolonged freezing delay time and depressed water crystallization point under light irradiation. Meantime, the SCMOFs exhibit good deicing properties. With the irradiation, the half-melted ice slips off quickly. The novel SLIPS based on photo-thermal MOFs exhibits an efficient and energy-saving active and passive anti/de-icing ability under light irradiation.![]()
