Abstract: [Objective/Significance]As the requirements for service resilience of infrastructureand mobile equipment continue to increase,there is a growing and urgent demand for anti-icingtechnologies in fields such as transportation,electric power,and aviation.[Analysis/Discussion/Progress] In recent years,passive anti-icing strategies based on the thermal energy storage and release of phasechange materials(PCMs)have attracted increasing attention. This paper reviews the research progress of organic,inorganic,and composite PCMs in the field of anti-icing. First,the development history and working mechanisms of phase-change anti-icing technologies are introduced. Subsequently,the material design and representative preparation methods of organic PCMs,inorganic PCMs,and composite PCMs are discussed separately,with emphasis placed on the key performance requirementsand their influencing factors for the above-mentioned materials in anti-icing/de-icing applications.[Conclusion/Prospect] PCM-based anti-icing coatings can reduce icing risk,prolong icing delay time,and lower ice adhesion strength. Strategies including smart-responsive composite systems,low-temperature-adapted PCM design,thermally conductive networks construction,interfacial adhesion-reduction design,and synergistic anti-icing with photothermal/electrothermal technologies can broadenthe operating temperature range of PCM-based anti-icing coatings and improve their anti-icing/de-icing performance,thereby promoting their application in transportation,renewable energy generation, and cold-region infrastructure.
