Summary The accumulation of ice will reduce the performance of the base material and lead to all kinds of damage, even a threat to people's life safety. Recent increasing studies suggest that superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) originating from nature can remove impacting and condensing droplets from the surface before freezing to subzero temperatures, and it can be seen that hydrophobic/SH coating has good freezing cold resistance. But such anti-icing performances and developments in practical applications are restricted by various factors. In this paper, the mechanism and process of surface icing phenomenon are introduced, as well as how to prevent surface icing on SHS. The development of SH materials in the aspect of anti-icing in recent years is described, and the existing problems in the aspect of anti-icing are analyzed, hoping to provide new research ideas and methods for the research of anti-icing materials.

“…This pinecone-like structured coating transformed into being superhydrophobic after storage in air. Chen et al also fabricated the superhydrophilic pinecone-like hierarchically structured surface on the stainless steel mesh by electrodeposition, and it transformed into a superhydrophobic surface after heating treatment at 120 °C for 12 h. 138 Li et al fabricated TiO 2 pinecone-like structured surface on the Ti substrate by anodization, 135 and it became superhydrophobic after exposure to air for 63 days due to the adsorption of organic compounds.

“…For example, Li et al found that the hierarchically structured superhydrophobic surface functionalized with organic adsorption prominently prolonged the freezing time from 14 min to 63 min at −20 °C of water droplets and exhibited excellent anti-icing property compared with the substrate surface. 135 Li et al prepared microstructures with an anti-icing superhydrophobic surface on T2 copper via laser texturing. It effectively delayed the icing time by factors of 15 and 20 at a low temperature of −15 °C compared with the bare surface.…”

“…The anodizing treatment barely changes the microstructures of the laser-marked sample (Figure 2c), whereas numerous nano-sized pores are generated on the original surface as shown in Figure 2d,e. The porous nanotube film is fabricated during the anodizing processing on the rough laser-marked surface [32]. The balance between the anodic oxidation and chemical etching grows the TiO 2 nanotube and generates the nano-pitted morphologies on the sample surface.…”

This study develops the nanostructured superhydrophobic titanium-based materials using a combined preparation method of laser marking step and the subsequent anodizing step. The structural properties were determined using an X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), while the performance was explored by wear and corrosion tests. The laser marking caused a rough surface with paralleled grooves and protrusions, revealing surface superhydrophobicity after organic modification. The anodizing process further created a titanium oxide (TiO2) nanotube film. Both phase constituent characterization and surface elemental analysis prove the uniform nanofilm. The inert nanosized oxide film offers improved stability and superhydrophobicity. Compared to those samples only with the laser marking process, the TiO2 nanotube film enhances the corrosion resistance and mechanical stability of surface superhydrophobicity. The proposed preparation pathway serves as a novel surface engineering technique to attain a nanostructured superhydrophobic surface with other desirable performance on titanium alloys, contributing to their scale-up applications in diverse fields.
