Abstract
Unwanted ice accumulation can lead to catastrophic disasters or economic losses. Photothermal superhydrophobic surfaces show promise for anti-/de-icing applications, but their effectiveness depends critically on precise micro-nano hierarchical structure design and functionalization. Current approaches face significant limitations: lithography enables ordered patterns but becomes cost-prohibitive for nanoscale features, while disordered micro-nano structures suffer from poor performance tunability and inconsistency. This study develops a high-performance structured micro/nano-crystal array photothermal superhydrophobic metamaterial (SMNA-PSM) for anti-/de-icing. The structured crystal array features abundant…
