Magneto-responsive photothermal composite cilia for active anti-icing and de-icing

Ice buildup occurs through multiple routes of frost formation, condensate freezing, and supercooled raindrops. Therefore, it is crucial to integrate multiple anti- and de-icing functionalities in the design of next-generation ice-free materials. Herein, a multifunctional magneto-responsive photothermal composite cilia array (MRPA) exhibiting remarkable anti-icing and de-icing performance was demonstrated. The MRPA can exhibit an immediate and...
