“…To reduce ice accumulation, superhydrophobic surfaces have been created using various surface-coating techniques, mainly through a combination of surface roughening and treatment with low surface energy materials. These approaches for developing a superhydrophobic surface includes sol-gel processes [6,7], electrochemical methods [8,9], vapour deposition [10,11], layerby-layer methods [12,13], spray coating process [14,15], and plasma processing [16][17][18][19]. These surface coatings act as physical barriers that isolate metal substrates from water, dissolved oxygen and corrosive ions [20][21][22].…”
