Inspired by nature, superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted increasing research interest owing to the wide range of applications such as fluid drag reduction, corrosion resistance, and self-cleaning [1][2][3][4]. Developments in designing and preparing superhydrophobic surfaces have shown promising anti-icing performance [5], creating an opportunity to prevent the wings of aircraft or electrical insulators from icing [6,7]. Today, superhydrophobic surfaces can be generated by techniques such as templating, colloidal assembly, physical vapour deposition, chemical vapour deposition, hydrothermal, electrochemical deposition, etching, plasma treatment, and laser processing [8,9]. Among these methods, laser processing is a
