Article Synopsis
- Anti-icing and de-icing technologies are crucial for maintaining infrastructure, but existing carbon-based methods struggle with issues like high energy use and environmental sensitivity.
- A new scalable hybrid metamaterial has been developed, utilizing photothermal and electrothermal properties, which significantly delays icing and enhances performance across various temperatures.
- This metamaterial also retains effectiveness after extensive outdoor exposure and has potential for large-scale manufacturing, making it a promising solution for the anti-icing/de-icing industry.
