Article Abstract
Bio-antifreezing is a green and highly effective strategy to inhibit ice nucleation. Bio-inspired antifreezing faces the severe challenges of significant toxicity and complex manufacturing procedures. Bio-inspired antifreezing natural deep eutectic solvent (Ba-NADES) could be an efficient and low or no-toxicity approach for the frozen food industry. Ba-NADES form a strong hydrogen bond network system under cold conditions, capably reducing the melting point of the system below the freezing point and effectively inhibiting ice growth. It has efficaciously alleviated freeze injury by Ba-NADES. The review highlights the current strategies of bio-inspired antifreezing, cold resistance behavior in organisms, and the existing applications of Ba-NADES. It updated information concerning their mechanisms for antifreezing. It emphasizes that the role of water on the antifreezing quality of NADES is worthy of further investigation for more extensive food applications. This work will provide a comprehensive overview of NADES antifreezing.

Drawing inspiration from Salicornia, a plant with the remarkable ability to thrive in harsh environments, a conductive hydrogel with high toughness and ultra-stability is reported. Specifically, the strategy of pre-cross-linking followed by secondary soaking in saturated salt solutions is introduced to prepare the PAAM-alginate conductive hydrogel with dual cross-linked dual network structure. It allows the alginate network to achieve complete cross-linking, fully leveraging the structural advantages of the PAAM-alginate conductive hydrogel.

Superhydrophobic surfaces with the "lotus effect" have wide applications in daily life and industry, such as self-cleaning, anti-freezing, and anti-corrosion. However, it is difficult to reliably predict whether a designed superhydrophobic surface has the "lotus effect" by traditional theoretical models due to complex surface topographies. Here, a reliable machine learning (ML) model to accurately predict the "lotus effect" of solid surfaces by designing a set of descriptors about nano-scale roughness and micro-scale topographies in addition to the surface hydrophobic modification is demonstrated.

Conductive hydrogels are a class of stretchable conductive materials that are important for various applications. However, water-based conductive hydrogels inevitably lose elasticity and conductivity at subzero temperatures, which severely limits their applications at low temperatures. Herein we report anti-freezing conductive organohydrogels by using an H O/ethylene glycol binary solvent as dispersion medium.
