Passive anti-icing surfaces, or icephobic surfaces, are an area of great interest because of
their significant economic, energy and safety implications in the prevention and easy …

Owing to advances in micro-and nanofabrication methods over the last two decades, the
degree of sophistication with which solid surfaces can be engineered today has caused a …

Ice accretion causes problems in vital industries and has been addressed over the past
decades with either passive or active de-icing systems. This work presents a smart, hybrid …

Self-propelled jumping drops are continuously removed from a condensing
superhydrophobic surface to enable a micrometric steady-state drop size. Here, we report …

The review provides a comprehensive account of superhydrophobic surfaces fabricated by
electrochemical anodic oxidation (anodization). First, reported works on superhydrophobic …

Icephobic surfaces have a critical footprint on human daily lives ranging from aviation
systems and infrastructures to energy systems, but creation of these surfaces for low …

As exemplified by the extreme cold weather hitting central China and causing great
economic losses in 2018, as well as the 2021 Texas power crisis involving more than 4.5 …

Aluminum is extensively used metals in transmission lines, and the accumulation of ice on
aluminum may inflict serious damage such as tower collapse and power failure. In this study …

It is well known that high optical transparency is one of the most crucial criteria for the
overwhelming majority of optical devices and correlative functions, including smart windows …
