  • Achieved a 40.17°C temperature rise under 1-sun irradiation with 73.57% visible-light transmittance.
  • Demonstrated delayed ice formation (653 s) and efficient de-icing/de-frosting (337 s / 155 s) at -15°C.
  • Maintained superhydrophobic properties (contact angle 152°, sliding angle 8°) after 50 de-icing cycles.

    • Conclusions:

    • The transparent coating offers a viable strategy for high-performance anti-icing and de-icing.
    • Synergistic effects of surface structure and spectral selectivity enhance durability and efficiency.
    • The developed coating overcomes key limitations for practical anti-icing applications.
