Engineering icephobic surfaces has been a long-standing effort to address the challenges of ice prevention and removal in our daily life industrial applications. Superhydrophobic photothermal effect have shown their distinct merits anti-icing deicing. It is highly desirable exploit mutual benefits realize passive, durable, sustainable icephobicity even at extremely low temperatures. We report o...
