“…The ice adhesion strength test was carried out with reference to the literature, 16 by using a cylinder with a diameter of 1 cm and a height of 1 cm to create an ice column on the surface of the sample. The sample was placed in the ice freezer with the temperature and relative humidity set at −20 °C and 40%, respectively.…”

“…As a component of coatings, hydrophobic materials are extremely practical in construction in places where maintenance can be problematic (tunnels, underground parking, building foundations), and in places below groundwater level, where it is necessary to constantly ensure the dryness of water-saturated soil. After all, it is known that hydrophobic surfaces have excellent self-cleaning properties, which consequently extend the life of coatings [ 43 ].…”

“…The hydrophobic material obtained by Xue et al, based on melanin nanoparticles fabricated from cuttlefish juice and SiO 2 nanoparticles exhibited the ability to photothermal conversion at a temperature of −20 °C, which slowed down the icing time of water droplets on the surface [ 43 ]. Melanin in the composition of the material has a strong light-absorbing ability in a wide range, effectively converting solar energy into heat [ 50 , 51 ].…”

“…The aforementioned “air cushion” and fluorine-containing compounds serve as a kind of a barrier against erosion and corrosion, providing the chemical resistance of the coating. The self-cleaning property plays an important role in maintaining the efficiency of photothermal conversion, since the equilibrium temperature of a clean coating is much higher ( Figure 7 ) [ 43 ].…”

A Mini-Review on Recent Developments in Anti-Icing Methods

An aggressive impact of the formed ice on the surface of man-made objects can ultimately lead to serious consequences in their work. When icing occurs, the quality and characteristics of equipment, instruments, and building structures deteriorate, which affects the durability of their use. Delays in the adoption of measures against icing endanger the safety of air travel and road traffic. Various methods have been developed to combat de-icing, such as mechanical de-icing, the use of salts, the application of a hydrophobic coating to the surfaces, ultrasonic treatment and electric heating. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the field of anti-icing and analyze the role of various additives and their operating mechanisms.

In frigid winter, the ice and snow built‐up on high‐voltage overhead power lines may seriously risk the reliability of electric power transmission and telecommunication systems. Green technologies for power line deicing that can effectively remove the accumulated ice or snow on the cables in a gentle way are highly desired but technically challenging due to the complex cable surfaces. Herein, this work reports a scalable solar‐thermal icephobic nanocoating compatible with both flat and complex curved surfaces. The spray‐coated nanocoating comprises a titanium nitride nanoparticle layer as a low‐emissivity photo‐thermal medium and dual‐scale silica particles as a water‐repellent layer even at low temperatures. Enabled by the collective effects of high‐efficiency solar‐thermal conversion and temperature‐insensitive superhydrophobicity, the nanocoating realizes effective deicing/defrosting on power lines at frigid temperatures down to −15 °C. The versatility of this coating and its compatibility with mass‐production processes render passive solar‐driven deicing technologies promising for practical applications on most outdoor exposed surfaces.
