Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Surface Engineering
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Ice accumulation poses significant risks to infrastructure and safety.
  • Existing anti-icing solutions often face limitations in harsh conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel coating with combined photothermal/electrothermal solid-state lubrication (PEL) properties.
  • To enhance anti-icing and deicing performance for various surfaces.

Main Methods:

  • Layered coating preparation using silicone oil, paraffin wax, graphite, and carbon nanotubes.
  • Evaluation of lubricity via water sliding angle (SA).
  • Assessment of ice resistance at -10 °C and deicing efficiency under light and electrical power.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a low water sliding angle (SA) of 12° due to excellent lubricity.
  • Extended water droplet freezing time by over 4 times at -10 °C.
  • Demonstrated efficient deicing using photothermal (0.6 kW/m²) and electrothermal (0.1 W/cm²) stimuli, with synergistic effects at -20 °C.

Conclusions:

  • The PEL coating provides stable, all-weather anti-icing and deicing solutions.
  • The coating exhibits self-healing properties due to paraffin wax phase change.
  • This research offers a promising strategy for low-temperature ice management.
