Abstract

The integration of superhydrophobicity and photothermal conversion offers transformative potential for addressing ice accretion challenges in outdoor infrastructure. However, current technologies are constrained by fluorinated chemical dependencies, complex manufacturing workflows, and limited substrate adaptability. Herein, we present a fluorochemical-free, eco-friendly, scalable coating system through a one-step spray deposition of antimony selenide (Sb2Se3), stearic acid (STA), and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The synergistic incorporation of Sb2Se3 and STA creates a micro/nano structure with enhanced surface roughness (Ra = 189.937 nm) and low surface energy, achieving exceptional liquid repellency (water contact angle: 165°, sliding angle: 3°). The optimized Sb2Se3/STA/PMMA (Sb2Se3-SP) composite demonstrates remarkable substrate versatility, adhering robustly to diverse surfaces (metals, glass, paper, and wood) without requiring pretreatment. Notably, the Sb2Se3-SP coating exhibits a 4.67-fold extension in delayed ice freezing time (280 s at -20 °C) compared to that of uncoated substrate (60 s at -20 °C). Furthermore, the intrinsic photothermal conversion capability of Sb2Se3 enables rapid surface heating, rising to 80.0 °C in 180 s under 1-sun illumination (0.14 W/cm2), facilitating autonomous ice melting without external energy supply. Besides, the Sb2Se3-SP coating exhibits outstanding mechanical durability and self-cleaning property. This scalable, eco-conscious fabrication approach bridges the gap between laboratory innovation and industrial deployment, offering a sustainable pathway for energy-efficient anti-icing solutions in aviation power systems and cold-region infrastructure.

基于sb2se3的环保超疏水光热涂层的可扩展防冰和除冰应用

超疏水性和光热转换的结合为解决室外基础设施中的冰积累挑战提供了革命性的潜力。然而，目前的技术受到氟化化学依赖性、复杂的制造工作流程和有限的基材适应性的限制。在此，我们通过一步喷雾沉积硒化锑（Sb2Se3）、硬脂酸（STA）和聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯（PMMA），提出了一种无氟化学品、环保、可扩展的涂层系统。Sb2Se3和STA的协同结合创造了具有增强表面粗糙度（Ra = 189.937 nm）和低表面能的微/纳米结构，实现了卓越的拒水性（水接触角：165°，滑动角：3°）。优化后的Sb2Se3/STA/PMMA （Sb2Se3- sp）复合材料具有显著的基材多功能性，无需预处理即可牢固地粘附在各种表面（金属，玻璃，纸张和木材）上。值得注意的是，Sb2Se3-SP涂层的延迟结冰时间（-20°C 280 s）比未涂层的基体（-20°C 60 s）延长了4.67倍。此外，Sb2Se3固有的光热转换能力使其表面加热迅速，在1个太阳光照（0.14 W/cm2）下，180秒内加热到80.0°C，有利于在没有外部能源供应的情况下自主融化冰。此外，Sb2Se3-SP涂层具有优异的机械耐久性和自清洁性能。这种可扩展的、具有生态意识的制造方法弥合了实验室创新和工业部署之间的差距，为航空动力系统和寒冷地区基础设施的节能防冰解决方案提供了可持续的途径。
