Abstract

The accumulation of ice on the surfaces of devices has long been a significant concern for human life and production. The icing of aircraft surfaces can alter the aerodynamic shape of the aircraft, reducing its controllability and decrease the flight range. Ice buildup on wind turbine blades significantly reduces power generation efficiency. Preventing ice accumulation has thus become a focal point of research. Photothermal superhydrophobic materials are characterized by efficient photothermal energy conversion upon irradiation, thus showing promise for applications in the energy-, civil- or aerospace-engineering sectors. Photothermal superhydrophobic materials are promise to be a safe, reliable and cost-effective anti-icing/deicing strategies. In this review, the design concepts, preparation methods, performance characteristics, and application areas of different types of photothermal superhydrophobic materials are discussed. After elucidating anti-icing mechanisms, the superhydrophobic photothermal material state-of-the-art is reviewed. The problems encountered in the practical application of photothermal superhydrophobic materials and challenges to be addressed in the future are also analyzed and discussed.

破冰：光热超疏水材料在高效除冰策略中的应用

长期以来，设备表面冰的积累一直是人类生活和生产的一个重要问题。飞机表面结冰会改变飞机的气动外形，降低飞机的可控性，减小飞机的飞行距离。风力涡轮机叶片上的结冰大大降低了发电效率。因此，防止积冰成为研究的焦点。光热超疏水材料的特点是在辐照后能有效地转换光热能量，因此在能源、民用或航空航天工程领域显示出应用前景。光热超疏水材料有望成为一种安全、可靠、经济的防冰/除冰策略。本文综述了不同类型光热超疏水材料的设计概念、制备方法、性能特点及应用领域。在阐述了超疏水光热材料防冰机理的基础上，综述了超疏水光热材料的研究进展。分析和讨论了光热超疏水材料在实际应用中遇到的问题和今后需要解决的挑战。
