Abstract
Ice can lead to inconvenience and disasters in human activities, making it a widely concern for researchers to find solutions to prevent icing. Hydrophobic materials have been developed for passive anti-icing with a long time, but without active deicing effect. Recently, researchers have explored hydrophobic photothermal materials with passive anti-icing and active deicing ability, which are limited on cloudy days and the night. Consequently, developing materials with anti-icing/icephobic and deicing capabilities for all-weather use has emerged as an innovative strategy. This paper develops hydrophobic PDMS/Cu-Ni@PET with photo/electric thermal properties to support all-weather anti-icing/icephobic and deicing, which is synthesized using copper-nickel and hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The PDMS/Cu-Ni@PET exhibits an outstanding anti-icing performance with a delayed icing time of 1224 s at -10 °C, and achieves a surface equilibrium temperature of 68.9 °C under 1 sunlight intensity, enabling the melting of surface ice particles within 614 ± 118 s. When a voltage is applied to both sides of the fabric, the equilibrium temperature can be reached within 60 s, and attained 158 °C at 6 V, enabling the melting of surface ice within 97 s. It provides a novel approach for developing photo/electric thermal superhydrophobic coatings that can maintain all-weather deicing performance.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the journal is to provide a respectful outlet for ''sound science'' papers in all research areas on surfaces and interfaces. We define sound science papers as papers that describe new and well-executed research, but that do not necessarily provide brand new insights or are merely a description of research results.
Surfaces and Interfaces publishes research papers in all fields of surface science which may not always find the right home on first submission to our Elsevier sister journals (Applied Surface, Surface and Coatings Technology, Thin Solid Films)
