Abstract

[Objective/Significance]As the challenges posed by the adhesion of snow and ice tomaterial surfaces became increasingly prominent,particularly in the energy sectors of photovoltaics and wind power,the demand for anti-icing surface hadgrown more urgent.[Analysis/Discussion/ Progress]Recent advances in research on bionic anti-icing surface research have been driven by theanti-icing mechanisms found in natural biological surfaces. This paper reviewed current anti-icingtechnologies,focusing on the mechanisms of ice formation,propagation,and inhibition. It highlighted three major biomimetic anti-icing strategies:superhydrophobic surfaces(SHS)inspired by the lotus leaf effect,smooth liquid-infused porous surfaces(SLIPS)inspired by Nepenthes pitcher plants,and anti-icing surfaces based on antifreeze protein(AFP)mimics.[Conclusion/Prospect]The principles, performance characteristics,and challenges of these strategies in practical applications were discussed, aiming to provide both theoretical insights and practical guidance for the design of efficient andenvironmentally friendly anti-icing materials.
