This paper proposes a composite coating that combines the advantages of photothermal and superhydrophobic surfaces, providing both superhydrophobicity and durability, while enhancing the photothermal effect.
Ice accumulation has caused significant losses, making it necessary to find effective anti-icing and deicing solutions. In this paper, we propose a composite coating that combines the benefits of a photothermal and superhydrophobic surface. This innovative coating incorporates Prussian blue particles and silica nanoparticles into a polytetrafluoroethylene dispersion. Prussian blue in the composite coating plays a crucial role in its effectiveness. Firstly, it facilitates the formation of dual-scale micro/nano structures, which are essential for achieving superhydrophobicity. Additionally, it acts as a crosslinking agent, preventing the coating from cracking and ensuring its durability. Lastly, it enhances the photo thermal effect of the coating by acting as a light absorber.
