Article Synopsis
- Photothermal superhydrophobic surfaces are effective anti-/deicing materials but face challenges due to low solar energy density; a new solution incorporates microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCMs) to enhance efficiency.
- Dual-shell octahedral MPCMs have been developed using a copper oxide (Cu O) layer and a copper sulfide (Cu S) layer, achieving a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 96.1% with stable performance over 200 cycles.
- The innovative coatings created from these MPCMs demonstrate excellent anti-/deicing capabilities, particularly in low temperature and high humidity conditions, presenting a significant advancement in the design of high-performance materials for icy environments.
