Abstract
Icing has been seen as an economic and safety hazard due to its threats to aviation, power generation, offshore platforms, etc., where passive icephobic surfaces with a surface texturing design have the potential to address this problem. However, the intrinsic icephobic principles associated with the surface textures, energy, elasticity, and hybrid effects are still unclear. To explore the anisotropic wettability, ice nucleation, and ice detaching behaviors, a series of textured poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-based coatings with various texture orientations were proposed through a simple stamping method with surface functionalization. The anisotropic hydrophobic/icephobic phenomena and mechanisms were discovered from wettability evaluation, experimentally studied by icing/deicing experiments, and finally verified by microscopic numerical simulations. One-way analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA analysis) was used to analyze the effect of surface textures on hydrophobic/icephobic properties, which assisted in understanding anisotropic phenomena. Typical anisotropic ice nucleation and growth on the textured coatings were clarified using in situ environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) characterization. The ice/coating interfacial stress responses were studied by numerical stimulation at the microscopic level, further verifying the localized, amplified, and propagated stress at the ice/coating interface. The theoretical anisotropic responses, barrier effect, and accelerating effect were verified to interpret the anisotropic wettability and icephobicity, depending on the specific surface conditions. This study revealed the basics of the anisotropic icephobic mechanisms of textured icephobic surfaces, further facilitating the R&D of passive icephobic surfaces.

Abstract
Beyond traditional paper, multifunctional nanopaper has received much attention in recent years. Currently, many nanomaterials have been successfully used as building units of nanopaper. However, it remains a great challenge to prepare flexible and freestanding metal-organic framework (MOF) nanopaper owing to the low aspect ratio and brittleness of MOF nanocrystals. Herein, this work develops a flexible and free-standing MOF nanopaper with MOF nanowires as building units. The manganese-based MOF (Mn-MOF) nanowires with lengths up to 100 μm are synthesized by a facile solvothermal method. Through a paper-making technique, the Mn-MOF nanowires interweave with each other to form a three-dimensional architecture, thus creating a flexible and free-standing Mn-MOF nanowire paper. Furthermore, the surface properties can be engineered to obtain high hydrophobicity by modifying polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) on the surfaces of the Mn-MOF nanowire paper. The water contact angle reaches 130°. As a proof of concept, this work presents two potential applications of the Mn-MOF/PDMS nanowire paper: (i) The as-prepared Mn-MOF/PDMS nanowire paper is compatible with a commercial printer. The as-printed colorful patterns are of high quality, and (ii) benefiting from the highly hydrophobic surfaces, the Mn-MOF/PDMS nanowire paper is able to efficiently separate oil from water.

Abstract
To solve the problem of ice condensation and adhesion, it is urgent to develop new anti-icing and deicing technologies. This study presented the development of a highly efficient photothermal-enhanced superhydrophobic PDMS/Ni@Ti3C2Tx composite film (m-NMPA) fabricated cost-effectively and straightforwardly. This film was fabricated utilizing PDMS as a hydrophobic agent, adhesive, and surface protector, while Ni@Ti3C2Tx as a magnetic photothermal filler innovatively. Through a simple spraying method, the filler is guided by a strong magnetic field to self-assemble into an eyelash-like microstructure array. The unique structure not only imparts superhydrophobic properties to the surface but also constructs an efficient "light-capturing" architecture. Remarkably, the m-NMPA film demonstrates outstanding superhydrophobic passive anti-icing and efficient photothermal active deicing performance without the use of fluorinated chemicals. The micro-/nanostructure of the film forms a gas layer, significantly delaying the freezing time of water. Particularly under extreme cold conditions (-30 °C), the freezing time is extended by a factor of 7.3 compared to the bare substrate. Furthermore, under sunlight exposure, surface droplets do not freeze. The excellent photothermal performance is attributed to the firm anchoring of nickel particles on the MXene surface, facilitating effective "point-to-face" photothermal synergy. The eyelash-like microarray structure enhances light-capturing capability, resulting in a high light absorption rate of 98%. Furthermore, the microstructure aids in maintaining heat at the uppermost layer of the surface, maximizing the utilization of thermal energy for ice melting and frost thawing. Under solar irradiation, the m-NMPA film can rapidly melt approximately a 4 mm thick ice layer within 558 s and expel the melted water promptly, reducing the risk of secondary icing. Additionally, the ice adhesion force on the surface of the m-NMPA film is remarkably low, with an adhesion strength of approximately 4.7 kPa for a 1 × 1 cm2 ice column. After undergoing rigorous durability tests, including xenon lamp weathering test, pressure resistance test, repeated adhesive tape testing, xenon lamp irradiation, water drop impact testing, and repeated brushing with hydrochloric acid and particles, the film's surface structure and superhydrophobic performance have remained exceptional. The photothermal superhydrophobic passive anti-icing and active deicing technology in this work rely on sustainable solar energy for efficient heat generation. It presents broad prospects for practical applications with advantages such as simple processing method, environmental friendliness, outstanding anti-icing effects, and exceptional durability.

Abstract
In line with global goals to solve marine biofouling challenges, this study proposes an approach to developing a green synthesis inspired by natural resources for fouling-resistant behavior. A hybrid antifouling/foul release (HAF) coating based on poly(dimethylsiloxane) containing a green synthesized nanocomposite was developed as an environmentally friendly strategy. The nanocomposites based on graphene oxide (GO) and using marine sources, leaves, and stems of mangroves (Avicennia marina), brown algae (Polycladia myrica), and zinc oxide were compared. The effectiveness of this strategy was checked first in the laboratory and then in natural seawater. The performance stability of the coatings after immersion in natural seawater was also evaluated. With the lowest antifouling (17.95 ± 0.7%) and the highest defouling (51.2 ± 0.9%), the best fouling-resistant performance was for the coatings containing graphene oxide reduced with A. marina stem/zinc oxide (PrGZS) and graphene oxide reduced with A. marina leaves/zinc oxide with 50% multiwall carbon nanotubes (PrGZHC50), respectively. Therefore, the HAF coatings can be considered as developed and eco-friendly HAF coatings for the maritime industry.

Abstract
Using superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) with the water-repellent Cassie-Baxter (CB) state is widely acknowledged as an effective approach for anti-icing performances. Nonetheless, the CB state is susceptible to diverse physical phenomena (e.g., vapor condensation, gas contraction, etc.) at low temperatures, resulting in the transition to the sticky Wenzel state and the loss of anti-icing capabilities. SHSs with various micronanostructures have been empirically examined for enhancing the CB stability; however, the energy barrier transits from the metastable CB state to the stable Wenzel state and thus the CB stability enhancement is currently not enough to guarantee a well and appliable anti-icing performance at low temperatures. Here, we proposed a dual-energy-barrier design strategy on superhydrophobic micronanostructures. Rather than the typical single energy barrier of the conventional CB-to-Wenzel transition, we introduced two CB states (i.e., CB I and CB II), where the state transition needed to go through CB I and CB II then to Wenzel state, thus significantly improving the entire CB stability. We applied ultrafast laser to fabricate this dual-energy-barrier micronanostructures, established a theoretical framework, and performed a series of experiments. The anti-icing performances were exhibited with long delay icing times (over 27,000 s) and low ice-adhesion strengths (0.9 kPa). The kinetic mechanism underpinning the enhanced CB anti-icing stability was elucidated and attributed to the preferential liquid pinning in the shallow closed structures, enabling the higher CB-Wenzel transition energy barrier to sustain the CB state. Comprehensive durability tests further corroborated the potentials of the designed dual-energy-barrier structures for anti-icing applications.

Abstract
Over an extended period of evolution and natural selection, a multitude of species developed a diverse array of biological interface features with specific functions. These biological structures provide a rich source of inspiration for the design of bionic structures on superhydrophobic surfaces. Understanding the functional mechanism of plant leaves is of paramount importance for the advancement of new engineering materials and the further promotion of engineering applications of bionic research. The hierarchical structure of microcrater-covered nanograss (MCNG) on the surface of E. helioscopia L. leaf provided the inspiration for the bionic MCNG surface, which was successfully prepared on a copper substrate by hybrid laser micromachining technology and chemical etching. The combined action of texture structure and surface chemistry resulted in a contact angle of 169° ± 1° for MCNG surface droplets and a rolling angle of less than 1°. Notably, the condensation-induced adhesion force does not augment with the increase of the temperature difference, which facilitated the shedding of hot droplets from the surface. The microscope observation revealed a high density of condensed droplets on the MCNG surface and the tangible jumping behavior of the droplets. The fabricated MCNG also demonstrated excellent antifrost/anti-icing abilities in low-temperature and high-humidity environments. Finally, the study confirmed the exceptional mechanical durability and reusability of the MCNG surface through various tests, including scratch damage, sandpaper wear, water flow impact and flushing, and condensation-drying cycle tests. The nanograss can be effectively protected within the microcrater structure. This research presents a promising approach for preventing and/or removing unwanted droplets in numerous engineering applications.

Abstract
Inspired by nature, superhydrophobic surfaces have been widely studied. Usually the wettability of a superhydrophobic surface is quantified by the macroscopic contact angle. However, this method has various limitations, especially for precision micro devices with superhydrophobic surfaces, such as biomimetic artificial compound eyes and biomimetic water strider robots. These precision micro devices with superhydrophobic surfaces proposed a higher demand for the quantification of contact angles, requiring contact angle quantification technology to have micrometer-scale measurement capabilities. In this review, it is proposed to achieve micrometer-scale quantification of superhydrophobic surface contact angles through droplet adhesion characteristics (adhesion force and contact radius). Existing contact angle quantification techniques and droplet characteristics' measurement methods were described in detail. The advancement of micrometer-scale quantification technology for the contact angle of superhydrophobic surfaces will enhance our understanding of superhydrophobic surfaces.

Abstract
It is of great significance to grasp the role of surface topography in de-icing, which however remains unclear yet. Herein, four textured surfaces are developed by regulating surface topography while keeping surface chemistry and material constituents same. Specifically, nano-textures are maintained and micro-textures are gradually enlarged. The resultant ice adhesion strength is proportional to a topography parameter, i.e. areal fraction of the micro-textures, owing to the localized bonding strengthening, which is verified by ice detachment simulation using finite element method. Moreover, the decisive topography parameter is demonstrated to be determined by the interfacial strength distribution between ice and test surface. Such parameters vary from paper to paper due to different interfacial strength distributions corresponding to respective situations. Furthermore, since hydrophobic and de-icing performance may rely on different topography parameters, there is no certain relationship between hydrophobicity and de-icing.

Abstract
The petal effect is identified as a non-wetting state with high drop adhesion. The wetting behavior of petal surfaces is attributed to the papillose structure of their epidermis, which leads to a Cassie-Baxter regime combined with strong pinning sites. Under this scenario, sessile drops are pearl shaped and, unlike lotus-like surfaces, firmly attached to the surface. Petal surfaces are used as inspiration for the fabrication of functional parahydrophobic surfaces such as antibacterial or water-harvesting surfaces. In this work, two types of rose petals were replicated by using a templating technique based in Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) nanocasting. The topographic structure, the condensation mechanism under saturated environments and the wetting properties of the natural rose petal and their negative and positive replicas were analyzed. Finally, we performed prospective ice adhesion studies to elucidate whether petal-like surfaces may be used as deicing solutions.

Abstract
The accumulation of ice on surfaces will bring safety issues to various human activities. Researchers have been actively developing superhydrophobic surfaces (SHS) as good anti-icing materials. However, some limitations, such as high cost, complexity of preparation, and lack of sufficient durability in extreme environments, restrict their practical applications. Inspired by bronchial mucosa cilia structure and the superhydrophobic lotus leaf structure, we generated ordered magnetic microcilia arrays (MMA) surfaces within 1 min by a fast and controllable microhole assisted magnetic-induced microcilia self-growth method. Fluoride-free superhydrophobic MMA (SMMA) was prepared by impregnating MMA into hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS) modified SiO2 solution. SMMA exhibits excellent static anti-icing performance, which can significantly delay the freezing of static droplets in supercooled environments. The SMMA surface still maintains excellent dynamic anti-icing performance at -30 °C after 100 times of supercooled droplet impact. Furthermore, SMMA shows anti-icing performance for up to 2 months at low temperatures (-18 °C). Due to the sensitive magnetic response and excellent bending properties of the cilia, the MMA and SMMA surfaces also demonstrate outstanding multifunctional droplet manipulation under a magnetic field. The MMA surface has the ability to vertically capture and release droplets. The SMMA can achieve horizontal transport of droplets, mixing and microchemical detection, antigravity droplet transport in an 8° inclined array, and even complex objects can be easily transported. More importantly, the SMMA surface exhibits outstanding mechanical durability and chemical stability. It provides insights into the preparation of integrated anti-icing and droplet manipulation surfaces by using a simple green and low-cost method.

Fuller A, Kant K, Pitchumani R. Analysis of freezing of a sessile water droplet on surfaces over a range of wettability. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 653:960-970. [PMID: 37776723 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.09.119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 10/02/2023]
Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Nonwetting surfaces, by virtue of their water-repelling trait, offer desirable anti-icing characteristics. Surface roughness, type and wettability are important interfacial characteristics that affect the icing dynamics that can be tailored to achieve desired anti-icing designs. EXPERIMENTS AND SIMULATIONS The present study systematically explores the effect of surface roughness on the freezing behaviour of water droplets on surfaces ranging in their wettability. Surfaces with tailored textures and wettability were fabricated using chemical etching and electrodeposition by varying the voltage. The surfaces studied include bare copper, five different dry nonwetting copper surfaces, and five different lubricant-infused copper surfaces that ranged in surface texture fractal dimension from nearly 1.0 to 1.92 and wettability measures of average water contact angle from 91° to 162° and sliding angle from less than 3° to greater than 50°. A computational model is developed to simulate the freezing dynamics on the surfaces studied. FINDINGS With increasing roughness features, the freezing time increased due to the dual effects of increased contact angle and poor interfacial conductance caused by trapped air or infused liquid within the asperity textures. In general, the nonwetting surfaces increased the freezing time by a factor of at least 1.33 and up to about 3.2 compared to freezing on bare copper surfaces. The computational model shows close agreement with experimental measurements on the freeze front progression as well as freeze time. Design guidelines on the suitability of the different nonwetting surfaces for anti-icing purposes are derived from the systematic study, with the overall design recommendation favoring lubricant infused surfaces.

Abstract
Ice formation and accumulation on surfaces has a negative impact in many different sectors and can even represent a potential danger. In this review, the latest advances and trends in icephobic coatings focusing on the importance of their durability are discussed, in an attempt to pave the roadmap from the lab to engineering applications. An icephobic material is expected to lower the ice adhesion strength, delay freezing time or temperature, promote the bouncing of a supercooled drop at subzero temperatures and/or reduce the ice accretion rate. To better understand what is more important for specific icing conditions, the different types of ice that can be formed in nature are summarized. Similarly, the alternative methods to evaluate the durability are reviewed, as this is key to properly selecting the method and parameters to ensure the coating is durable enough for a given application. Finally, the different types of icephobic surfaces available to date are considered, highlighting the strategies to enhance their durability, as this is the factor limiting the commercial applicability of icephobic coatings.

Abstract
Wind turbine blades are often covered with ice and snow, which inevitably reduces their power generation efficiency and lifetime. Recently, a superhydrophobic surface has attracted widespread attention due to its potential values in anti-icing/deicing. However, the superhydrophobic surface can easily transition from Cassie-Baxter to Wenzel at low temperature, limiting its wide applications. Herein, inspired by the excellent water resistance and cold tolerance of Trifolium repens L. endowed by its micronano structure and low surface energy, a fresh structure was prepared by combining femtosecond laser processing technology and a boiling water treatment method. The prepared icephobic surface aluminum alloy (ISAl) mainly consists of a periodic microcrater array, nonuniform microclusters, and irregular nanosheets. This three-scale structure greatly promotes the stability of the Cassie-Baxter state. The critical Laplace pressure of ISAl is up to 1437 Pa, and the apparent water contact angle (CA) is higher than 150° at 0 °C. Those two factors contribute to its excellent anti-icing and deicing performances. The results show that the static icing delay time reaches 2577 s, and the ice adhesion strength is only 1.60 kPa. Furthermore, the anti-icing and deicing abilities of the proposed ISAl were examined under the environment of low temperature and high relative humidity to demonstrate its effectiveness. The dynamic anti-icing time of ISAl in extreme environments is up to 5 h, and ice can quickly fall with a speed of 34 r/min when it is in a horizontal rotational motion. Finally, ISAl has excellent reusability and mechanical durability, with the ice adhesion strength still being less than 6 kPa and the CA greater than 150° after 15 cycles of icing-deicing tests. The proposed structure would offer a promising strategy for the efficient anti-icing and deicing of wind turbine blades.

Abstract
In nature, many species commonly evolve specific functional surfaces to withstand harsh external environments. In particular, structured wettability of surfaces has attracted tremendous interest due to its great potential in antifogging and anti-icing properties. Phyllostachys Viridis is a resistant low-temperature (-18 °C) plant with superhydrophobicity and ice resistivity behaviors. In this work, with inspiration from the representative cold-tolerant plants leaves, a unique multilevel micronano (MLMN) surface was fabricated on copper substrate by ultrafast laser process, which exhibited superior superhydrophobic characteristics with the water contact angle > 165° and rolling angle< 2°. In the dynamic wettability experiment, the rebound efficiency of the droplet on the MLMN surface reached 20.6%, and the contact time was only 10.6 ms. In the condensation experiment, the nucleation, growth, merging, and bouncing of fog drops on the surface was distinctly observed, indicating that rational texture structures can improve the antifogging performance of the surface. In the anti-icing experiment, the freezing time was delayed to 921 s at -10 °C, and the freezing time of salt water reached a staggering 1214 s. Moreover, the mechanical durability of MLMN surfaces was confirmed by scratch damage, sandpaper abrasion, and icing and melting cycle tests, and their repairability was evaluated for product applications in practice. Finally, the underlying antifogging/anti-icing strategy of the MLMN surface was also revealed. We anticipate that the investigations offer a promising way to handily design and fabricate multiscale hierarchical structures with reliable antifogging and anti-icing performance, especially in saltwater-related applications.

Abstract
Liquid fluidity is a most key prerequisite for a broad range of technologies, from energy, fluid machineries, microfluidic devices, water, and oil transportation to bio-deliveries. While from thermodynamics, the liquid fluidity gradually diminishes as temperature decreases until completely solidified below icing points. Here, self-driven droplet motions are discovered and demonstrated occurring in icing environments and accelerating with both moving distances and droplet volumes. The self-driven motions, including self-depinning and continuous wriggling, require no surface pre-preparation or energy input but are triggered by the overpressure spontaneously established during icing and then continuously accelerated by capillary pulling of frosts. Such self-driven motions are generic to a broad class of liquid types, volumes, and numbers on various micro-nanostructured surfaces and can be facilely manipulated by introducing pressure gradients spontaneously or externally. The discovery and control of self-driven motions below icing points can greatly broaden liquid-related applications in icing environments.

Abstract
Overcoming ice accretion on external aircraft wing surfaces plays a crucial role in aviation, and developing environmentally friendly passive anti-icing surfaces is considered to be a promising strategy. Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) have attracted increasing attention due to their potential advantages of keeping the airframe dry without causing additional aerodynamic losses. However, the passive anti-icing performances of SHSs reported to date varied a lot under different icing test conditions. Therefore, a systematic investigation is necessary to elucidate the icing conditions where SHSs can remain effective and pave the way for SHSs toward practical anti-icing applications. Herein, we designed and fabricated a typical type of SHS featuring dual-scale hierarchical structures with arrayed micromountains (with both spacings and heights of tens of micrometers) covered by single-scale sandy-corrugation-like periodic structures (with both spacings and heights of only several micrometers) (termed SS1). Its anti-icing performances under three representative icing conditions, including static water freezing, dynamic supercooled-droplet impinging, and icing wind tunnel conditions, were comparatively investigated. The SS1 SHS maintained a lower static ice-adhesion strength (<60 kPa even after 50 deicing cycles at temperatures as low as -25 °C), which was attributed to a cumulative cracking effect facilitating the ice detachment. Within the laboratory dynamic icing tests, the SS1 SHSs with micromountain heights of 20-30 μm performed optimally in the antiadhesion of supercooled droplets (at an impinging velocity of 3.4 m/s and temperatures of -5 to -25 °C). In spite of the significant anti-icing performances of the SS1 SHSs in both static and dynamic laboratory tests, they could hardly sustain reliable passive anti-icing performances in harsher icing wind tunnel tests with supercooled droplets impinging their surfaces at velocities of up to 50 m/s at a temperature of -5 °C for 10 min. This study can inspire the development of improved SHSs for achieving satisfactory anti-icing performances in real-aviation conditions.
