18 ABSTRACT
19
20 Ice formation and accretion on
21
22
surfaces is a serious economic issue in
23
24
25 energy supply and transports. Recent
26
27 strategies for developing icephobic
28
29 surfaces are intimately associated
30
31
32 with superwettability. Commonly, the superwettability of icephobic materials depends on their
33
34 surface roughness and chemical composition. This review critically categorizes the possible
35
36 strategies to mitigate the icing problems from daily life. The wettability and classical nucleation
37
38
39
theories are used to characterize the icephobic surfaces. Thermodynamically, the
40
41 advantages/disadvantages of superhydrophobic surface are discussed to explain icephobic
42
43 behavior. The importance of elasticity, SLIPSs, amphiphilicity, anti-freezing protein, organogels
44
45
and stimuli-responsive materials has been highlighted to induce icephobic performance. In
46
47
48 addition, the design principles and mechanism to fabricate icephobic surfaces with
49
50 superwettability are explored and summarized.

4
5
6 Ice build-up on surfaces is a major issue in various industries including transportation, power
7
8 plants, wind turbines, and telecommunications. Icing results in injuries on road, sea and rail
9
10 transportation, as well as hinders the operation of the components of aircrafts and
11
12
13
telecommunication equipment.1 Icing also puts lives at risk during ice removal from
14
15 hydroelectric power plants and wind turbines.2 In addition, ice accretion and frost formation
16
17 dramatically affect the performance of refrigerators3 and heat exchangers.4
18
19
20 Different icephobic strategies5 have been applied to preserve the surfaces from ice. Active
21
22
23 methods such as electro-thermal and infrared heating systems are applied to keep the surfaces
24
25 free from ice.6 These strategies are very expensive and require a lot of energy.7 Another strategy
26
27 is the use of freezing point depressant salts and glycols. However, this strategy leads to
28
29
environmental problems. De-icing techniques deal with eliminating the accreted ice from
30
31
32 surfaces by applying mechanical forces. However, accessibility is a drawback into this
33
34 technique.8 A more attractive and general strategy to combat the icing issue is to engineer the
35
36 surfaces. It reduces the amount of water and adhesion of accreted ice on a surface. Bio-inspired
37
38
39 surface materials also have great interest for icephobic application. Ice formation on solid
40
41 substrates is a multiphase phenomenon which is divided into the following three main classes.
42
43 (1) vapors to ice, desublimation (2) vapors to liquid to ice, condensation followed by freezing
44
45
46 and (3) liquid to ice, freezing. It is generally known as freezing process which strongly depends
47
48 on atmospheric humidity, temperature and pressure.9
49
50
51 Literature defines the icephobicity as the capability of a surface to inhibit frost formation, reduce
52
53 ice adhesion strength, delay heterogeneous ice nucleation, delay freezing time, rebound super-

34 This review classifies the possible icephobic strategies and materials with superwettability into
35
36 different categories. First we introduce the basic characterization parameters to design icephobic
37
38 surfaces with the help of wettability and nucleation theories. Then the advantages/disadvantages
39
40
41 of superhydrophobic surface are discussed in terms of thermodynamics to impart icephobic
42
43 behavior. We have highlighted the importance of elasticity, SLIPSs, amphiphilicity, anti-freezing
44
45 protein, organogels and stimuli-responsive material to induce icephobic performance. In each
46
47
48
section, we have explained the design principles and mechanism to fabricate icephobic surfaces.

50 2. WETTABILITY THEORIES
51
52
53 Recently, the leading method to achieve icephobicity is based on controlling the wettability of
54
55 surfaces. The surface wettability depends on chemical composition15 and roughness.16 The water
56
57
58 3

1
2
3 contact angle (CA) 𝜃 is used to measure the wettability of the solid surface. Young’s17 equation 1
4
5
6 is used to describe the CA on an ideal solid surface.18
7
8
9 γsv = γsl + 𝛾𝑙𝑣 cos 𝜃 (1)
10
11
12 Where γsl , γsv and 𝛾𝑙𝑣 represent the surface tensions between solid–liquid, solid–vapor and
13
14
15
liquid–vapor interfaces respectively as shown in the Figure 2. Superhydrophilic (𝜃 →0°) or
16
17 superhydrophobic (𝜃 >150°) surfaces are characterized according to the value of CA19. However,
18
19 the Young’s equation is applied for ideally smooth surfaces and it is not possible practically. So,
20
21
22
there is a need to consider the roughness parameter of the surface during the study of surface
23
24 wettability. Two models Wenzel20 and Cassie-Baxter21 (Figure 2 b,c) are used to explain the
25
26 relationship between surface roughness and the apparent CA. Wenzel model shows the intimate
27
28 contact of water droplet with groove structured surface.22 The following equation 2 is used to
29
30
31 describe the change in CA
32
33
34 cos 𝜃𝑤 = 𝑟 cos 𝜃 (2)
35
36
37 Where 𝜃𝑤 and r represent the apparent CA and ratio between the actual area to the apparent area
38
39 on solid surface. The Wenzel equation shows that the hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity of the
40
41
42 surface is enhanced by increasing the roughness of the surface.23 However, the Wenzel model
43
44 becomes invalid due to the presence of trapped air in the groove structured surface. When a drop
45
46 sits on a surface in a transition state and the voids are filled with air pockets then the Cassie-
47
48
49
Baxter model is used24. It is described in the following equation 3 as
50
51
52 cos 𝜃𝑐 = 𝑓𝑠 cos 𝜃𝑠 + 𝑓𝑣 cos 𝜃𝑣 (3)

54
55

2
3 Where 𝜃𝑐 represents the apparent CA between the water droplet and rough surface, 𝜃𝑠 and 𝜃𝑣 are
4
5
6 CA of the water with solid and vapor. While 𝑓𝑣 and 𝑓𝑠 represent the area fractions of vapor and
7
8 solid on the surface respectively. When the droplet of water contacts with solid surface,
9
10
11 𝑓𝑠 + 𝑓𝑣 = 1, 𝜃𝑠 = 𝜃, 𝜃𝑣 = 180° . Equation 3 can be written as
12
13
14
cos 𝜃𝑐 = 𝑓𝑠 (𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 + 1) − 1 (4)
15
16
17
18 Usually, apparent CA lies between the advancing contact angle25 𝜃𝐴 and receding contact26
19
20 angle 𝜃𝑅 . The difference between 𝜃𝐴 and 𝜃𝑅 is known as the contact angle hysteresis (CAH).27,28
21
22 In case of Wenzel model, the real contact area of the water droplet is greater than the projected
23
24
25 area on the solid surface and the difference between θA and θR is high. On the other hand, in
26
27 case of Cassie-Baxter state, the real contact area of water droplet is reduced than the projected
28
29 area on solid surface and the difference between θA and θR is small.29

50 3. FUNDAMENTALS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ICEPHOBICITY
51
52
53 It still remains a challenge to evaluate and characterize the icephobic surfaces with one
54
55
56
universally accepted test in the stage of laboratory work. This section focuses on basic
57

1
2
3 characterization parameters to design icephobic surfaces with the help of wettability and classical
4
5
6 nucleation theories. In literature the fundamental characterization parameters for icephobic
7
8 surfaces are described such as low CAH, high receding contact angles,30 low water adhesion
9
10 force, promoting homogeneous nucleation with high nucleation energy, high inhomogeneity and
11
12
13
less stability at the interface of ice-substrate due to low elastic modulus.31
14
15
16 3.1. LOW CAH AND HIGH RECEDING ANGLE. Kulinich et al. described a relation between
17
18 wetting hysteresis (CAH) values and ice adhesion strength on the superhydrophobic surfaces.
19
20 The low hysteresis surfaces, wetted in the Cassie-Baxter regime showed a smaller contact area
21
22
23 between ice-substrate after freezing. While the high-hysteresis surfaces, partially wetted in
24
25 Wenzel regime showed larger contact area between ice-substrate after freezing. Therefore, high
26
27 hysteresis surfaces exhibit higher ice adhesion strength (IAS) and the surfaces with low CAH
28
29
show icephobic behavior (low IAS).32,33 Meuler et al. described a direct relation between
30
31
32 wettability parameter [1 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃𝑟𝑒𝑐 ] of water and ice adhesion strength by using 21 different
33
34 polymer coatings on steel. They suggested receding contact angles 𝜃𝑟𝑒𝑐 greater than 120° cause
35
36
37
to decrease the ice adhesion strength on surfaces, corresponding to this equation [1 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃𝑟𝑒𝑐 ] ≤
38
39 0.5.34 Janjua et al. evaluated the ice adhesion strength of different coatings using a centrifuge
40
41 device. They verified the relationship of increasing ice adhesion strength with increasing CAH
42
43
up to 92° and lower ice-solid contact area at low CAH according to the previous study. Zero ice
44
45
46 adhesion strength can be observed at CAH values of 25° as shown in Figure 3 A. However, high
47
48 𝜃𝐴 were suggested to inhibit wetting before freezing but high 𝜃𝑅 and low CAH result a decrease
49
50 in the ice adhesion strength after freezing.35
51
52
53
54
3.2. LOW WATER ADHESION FORCE AND LESS STABLE INTERFACE. Recently, He et al.
55
56 described the relationship between surface properties (water adhesion force, roughness,
57
58 6
59
60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

2
3 elasticity) and ice adhesion strength at room temperature by analyzing 24 hydrophilic and
4
5
6 hydrophobic polymer samples. They found a direct relation between water adhesion force and
7
8 ice adhesion strength, the samples with low ice adhesion strength showed very low water
9
10 adhesion forces (180 to 270 μN) as shown in Figure 3 A.36 The surfaces with ice adhesion
11
12
13
strength less than 10 kPa are known as super-low ice adhesion surfaces (SLIAS). The same
14
15 author also demonstrated37 a novel crack initiator mechanism to fabricate SLIAS by introducing
16
17 sub-structures into PDMS thin films as shown in Figure 3 B. Three mechanisms were presented
18
19
as nano-crack initiator (NACI), micro-crack initiator (MICI) and macro-crack initiator (MACI)
20
21
22 respectively. The macro-crack initiator (MACI) mechanism depends on the stiffness
23
24 inhomogeneity and interfaces deformation incompatibility of the substrate. The crack formation
25
26 at the ice-solid interface also depends on the stiffness inhomogeneity and interface deformation
27
28
29 incompatibility of ice-substrate. Super-low ice adhesion surfaces can be designed by increasing
30
31 the crack driving forces and the crack length 𝛼 at the ice-substrate interface. The ice adhesion
32
33 strength 𝜏𝑐 on different substrates can be calculated by using the following equation 5.
34
35
36
37 𝐺𝐸 ∗
𝜏𝑐 = √ (5)
38 𝜋𝛼𝐶
39
40 Where E*, G, 𝛼 represent Young’s modulus, surface energy and the length of crack respectively.
41
42
Chen et al. used poly methyl methacrylate and Al alloy with pits filled with low freezing point
43
44
45 solutions compared to water. The swelling force of solution caused to decrease the stability of
46
47 the ice-substrate interface and very low ice adhesion strength was observed due to the
48
49 deformation at the interface.38

48
49
50 When ice nucleation occurs within water droplet, it is known as homogeneous ice nucleation
51
52 while the heterogeneous ice nucleation occurs at the solid-liquid interface as shown in Figure 4
53
54 A. The heterogeneous nucleation is more favorable for hydrophilic surfaces compared to

7
8 radius of nanoparticles less than 10 times compared to the critical ice nuclei size.39,40 Therefore,
9
10 icephobic surfaces can also be designed by promoting homogeneous nucleation (responsible for -
11
12

25 °C ice nucleation temperature of water on a surface) with high nucleation energy.41 The

covalently grafted a series of copolymer/silica nano-composites on different substrates having
20
21
22 C–H bonds under UV irradiation as shown in Figure 4B. They revealed the defining parameter f
23
24 (heterogeneous and homogeneous nucleation free energy barrier ratio) to determine the
25
26 icephobic/anti-icing ability of nano-spherical rough superhydrophobic surfaces. The author
27
28
29 observed low icing probability on surfaces with small radius of nano-particles and high
30
31 nucleation energy barrier. According to Figure 4B, the high nucleation free energy barrier ratio f
32
33 (0.862) at 35 nm radius of nanoparticle show excellent anti-icing property.42 Cao et al. sprayed
34
35
36
the composites of silica nanoparticle with butyl methacrylate, styrene and glycidyl methacrylate
37
38 on the superhydrophobic surface to analyze the freezing process of super-cooled water. They
39
40 also explained the role of nanoparticles size during ice formation with the help of heterogeneous
41
42
nucleation theory. According to the equation 6, the free energy barrier for heterogeneous
43
44
45 nucleation (ΔGc) around a spherical particle is reduced by a factor f (0 to 1) compared to
46
47 homogeneous nucleation (ΔGc homo).

Here rc, γ, and ν represent the critical nucleus radius, water-ice interfacial tension and the molar

time on V-shaped microgroove surface compared to plain and nanowire silicon surface.44 Zheng

24 et al.45 fabricated superhydrophobic surface by deposition of silver on the copper plate followed
25
26 by modification with 1-dodecanethiol coating at 69 % humidity. They explained the direct

28 relationship between the contact angle 𝜃 and the nucleation energy barrier. The prepared surface
29

31 showed a delay in freezing point due to high nucleation energy barrier ∆G and lower nucleation

13 greater than 150°. The air pockets are trapped inside the surface textures due to the micro-

46
nanofibers showed better ice-phobic behavior due to reduce contact time of satellite droplets.52

Here , k and A, represent the heat transfer rate, coefficient of thermal conductivity and

𝑑𝑇
is temperature gradient. Therefore, superhydrophobic
21 𝑑𝑥
22
23 surfaces in Cassie-Baxter state delay the ice formation due to the following reasons: (i) small

25 𝑑𝑄
26
interfacial area A and low heat transfer rate between water droplet and superhydrophobic
𝑑𝑡
27
28 surface, (ii) presence of insulated air pockets between water droplet and substrate (iii) low
29
30
probability of heterogeneous nucleation at the water-substrate interface. Tourkine et al used
31
32
33 superhydrophobic copper plates and showed delay in freezing of deposited water due to the
34
35 presence of thermally insulated air pockets.55 Inspired by the butterfly wings, Guo et al.
36
37 synthesized a robust icephobic surface with CA 150° using ZnO and
38
39
40 heptadecafluorodecyltripropoxysilane (FAS-17) and obtained micro/nanostructures (MN) instead
41
42 of individual microstructures or nanostructures, or smooth. They observed delay freezing time of
43
44 7200 sec on the MN-surfaces at –10 °C due to the high ratio of air pockets between the drop and
45
46
47
MN-surface. Thermodynamically, the drop on MN-surface absorbs heat from air through thermal
48
49 radiation and contact heat conduction. Then the heat of drop gets transferred to cold MN-surface
50
51 in the form of thermal radiation and contact heat conduction through nano hairs. The following
52
53
equation shows the heat gain and loss in unit time

The heat loss in the form of thermal radiation and contact heat conduction in MN-surface is
8
9 small due to less contact area between liquid–solid and large proportion of trapped air. Thus the
10
11 value of Δh on the MN-surface is greater compared to the nano, micro and smooth surfaces i.e.,
12
13 Δh (MN) >Δh (N) > Δh (M) >Δh (S). The value of Δh is inversely proportional to the
14
15
16 decrease/change in temperature of drop tf according to the following equation 13. The
17
18 decrease/change in temperature of the drop is expressed as
19
20
21 𝜌𝑤 𝐶𝑝 (𝑡𝑜 −𝑡𝑠 )
22
𝑡𝑓 = (13)
∆ℎ
23
24
25 Where ρw, Cp represents the density and heat capacity of water at a constant pressure while to is
26
27 the initial temperature of the drop; and ts is the sample surface temperature. The equation 13
28
29
30
indicates that a large Δh would cause a small tf. Thus the temperature change of a drop is smaller
31
32 on the MN surface as compared to smooth surfaces.56 Wang et al. used Kelvin’s law and
33
34 Clapeyron equation to explain the delay in freezing process on the superhydrophobic surface.
35
36
Kelvin’s law is given below
37
38
39 2γVm
40 𝑃𝑟 = P exp ( ) (14)
RTr
41
42
43 Where P and Pr indicate the saturated vapor pressure and vapor pressure at temperature T. R, Vm,
44
45
46 γ and r represent the gas constant, molar volume, surface energy and radius of droplet
47
48 respectively. It is obvious from the equation that the vapor pressure and radius of a droplet on the
49
50 superhydrophobic surface are inversely related to each other. Thus the small radius of a water
51
52
53 droplet on the superhydrophobic surface causes large Pr value. So, the superhydrophobic surface
54
55 has a small amount of condensed water than that of the hydrophilic surface.

Birjandi et al. revealed that plant leaves (kale and lettuce) delay the ice formation due to their
21
22 surface microstructures. The author observed quick change in the temperature of water drops on
23
24 a lettuce leaf as compared to the kale leaf. The kale leaf showed delay in heat transfer and initial
25

12
13
14 Superhydrophobic surfaces also have some drawbacks about their icephobic behavior in
15
16
17
particular conditions. Kulinich65, Varanasi66 and Farhadi67 et al. observed the frost nucleation on
18
19 top and between asperities of the superhydrophobic surface as shown in Figure 6 A. The frost
20
21 formation resulted, to increase the ice-surface contact area, increase in ice adhesion strength and
22
23
ultimately loss of superhydrophobic properties due to transition from Cassie ice to Wenzel ice.
24
25
26 Jung et al evaluated the icephobicity of hydrophilic and superhydrophobic surfaces. The freezing
27
28 process was found to be delayed significantly on surfaces with roughness similar to the critical
29
30 ice nucleus radius at -20 °C. When the roughness of hydrophilic surface was comparable to the
31
32
33 critical ice nucleus radius, it showed longer freezing delay time compared to superhydrophobic
34
35 surface.68 Yizhou Shen et al. fabricated the hierarchical micro-nanostructure superhydrophobic
36
37 surfaces (HN-Surface) on Al substrate and compare its anti-icing efficiency with single
38
39
40
nanostructure (SN-Surface). The results showed poor anti-icing efficiency of HN-Surface due to
41
42 the accumulation of super-cooled microdroplets into the micrometer textures and caused the
43
44 quick ice formation as shown in the Figure 6 B.69 The same author also revealed the pinning of
45
46
the contact line on the cold superhydrophobic surface as shown in the Figure 7b. The transfer of
47
48
49 heat from water droplet to the cold surface caused a loss of moving ability of the molecules of
50
51 water at the triple-phase. Moreover, the van der Waals and electrostatic interactions are also
52
53 caused the pinning of contact line.70

9
10 Harmonic motion is also observed on the elastic/flexible substrate due to its oscillation at normal
11
12
13
frequency just after the water droplet impact. It causes to early lift-off of the droplet from the
14
15 surface in a pancake bouncing i.e springboard effect as shown in Figure 7a.72,73 Vasileiou et al.
16
17 deposited the dispersions of (poly(vinylidene fluoride) in (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone),
18
19
poly(methyl methacrylate) and hydrophobic fumed silica onto the flexible substrates (low-

22 density polyethylene). The prepared flexible superhydrophobic surface showed short contact
23
24 time, no impalement into the texture and minimum droplet spreading with no breakup compared
25
26 to the rigid superhydrophobic substrate as shown in Figure 7b. Moreover, the author explained
27
28
29 more water repellency on butterfly wings due to the flexibility of wings. The repellency of
30
31 viscous and super-cooled droplets has been observed on flexible substrates due to the absorption

3 and pressure make the SLIPS an encouraging strategy alternative to the superhydrophobic
4
5
6 surface in particular conditions. Moreover, the elimination of possible ice nucleation sites82 due
7
8 to the homogeneous interface83 and delay in freezing time also make the SLIPS a favorable
9
10 substitute to the superhydrophobic coatings8. Vogel et al. improved the stability of SLIPS by a
11
12
13
closed-cell architecture. The prepared SLIPS showed nine months stability with a very low value
14
15 of ice adhesion strength.84 Kim et al. developed SLIPS by electrodeposition of textured
16
17 polypyrrole followed by infusing perfluoroalkylether as a lubricant on aluminum substrates.
18
19
These SLIPSs removed both the condensed water droplets and accreted ice easily.85 Irajizad et al.
20
21
22 covered the Si substrate with oil-based ferrofluid of iron oxide nanoparticles (10-20 nm) to make
23
24 self-healing magnetic slippery surfaces MAGSS as shown in Figure 9a. The magnetic liquid-
25
26 liquid interface offered a low-energy interface for heterogeneous ice nucleation with the Gibbs
27
28
29 energy barrier near to homogenous limit. The MAGSS showed a delay in ice formation, high
30
31 mobility for liquids, low shear strength of ice and stability even at 105 Reynolds number. In this
32
33 approach, the author exploited the magnetic volumetric force to dismiss the role of the liquid-
34
35
36
solid interface during ice formation.86 Zhang et al. synthesized a robust double layered SLIPS
37
38 anti-icing coating on Mg alloy substrate. The prepared SLIPS showed delay in freezing point of
39
40 water with a low value of ice adhesion strength due to the inhibition of heterogeneous ice
41
42
nucleation.87 Tao et al. developed an efficient and durable slippery icephobic coating based on
43
44
45 polysiloxane by hydrosilylation of polymethylvinylsiloxane, polymethylhydrosiloxane and
46
47 fluorinated polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes. The prepared coating showed ultra-low 3.8
48
49 kPa ice shear strength and maintained the icephobicity after fifteen icing and deicing cycles.88
50
51
52 Coady et al. prepared the SLIPS by infusing the porous Al oxide with silicone oil as shown in
53
54 Figure 9b. The UV cross-linked siloxane resins were infused to enhance the slippery and

7
8 SiO2-UHMWPE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) suspension with kerosene oil on

solution and perfluoropolyether lubricant. The nanoparticle suspension of CLE was sprayed on
14
15 the glass to get nanoporous CLE film as shown in Figure 9c. The delay in ice nucleation was
16
17 found on prepared slippery films compared to superhydrophobic films.91 Liu et al. developed
18
19
one-step, transparent and omniphobic SLIPS coating by penetrating fluorinated lubricant into
20
21
22 PTFE nano particles as shown in Figure 9d. The prepared SLIPS showed decrease in ice
23
24 adhesion strength, icing-delay, anti-corrosion and self-cleaning properties.92 According to Anand
25
26 et al. the major drawbacks of SLIPSs are poor stability (due to evaporating or leaking of organic
27
28
29 lubricant) and high prices of perfluorinated lubricants.93

3 solid surface. They proposed the idea that melting due to the pressure and frictional heating
4
5
6 breaks down the hexagonal structure of ice and lubricate the blade with a thin layer of water to
7
8 allow the skaters to spin easily as shown in Figure 10a. The aqueous lubricating layer is formed
9
10 during the freezing process at low temperature and stays as long as ice remains atop. This
11
12
13
strategy does not have durability problem due to the resupply of water from moisture and melted
14
15 ice. Therefore water is certainly an ideal lubricant to mitigate the icing problems. The author
16

18
19
and measured the ice adhesion strength by changing the thickness and viscosity of aqueous film.

29 lubricating liquid water layer (SLWL) surfaces showed low ice adhesion value above -25 °C but
30
31 the sudden increase in ice adhesion was observed below -25°C due to the phase transition of
32
33 lubricating water into ice. The phase transition temperature can be lowered by changing the
34
35
36
concentration and type of hygroscopic polymer.95 Dou et al. also measured the strength of ice
37
38 adhesion by mixing polyurethane with different ratio of dimethylolpropionic acid (hydrophilic
39
40 component). They observed three stages of the freezing of free water, bound water and
41
42
completely disappearance of lubricating water layer: (1) In range of -15°C to -53°C the ice
43
44
45 adhesion retained about 27 kPa due to freezing of free water in aqueous lubricating layer, (2) at -
46
47 53°C to -60°C the value increased quickly up to 200 kPa due to freezing of bound water and (3)
48
49 after -60°C the value increased abruptly up to 700 kPa due to complete disappearance of the
50
51
52 aqueous lubricating layer. At -53 °C, 200 kPa ice adhesion was observed, which was similar to
53
54 that of polyurethane without hydrophilic component.96

4
5
6 hydrophilic conjugate of poly acrylic acid and dopamine (PAA-DA) as shown in Figure 10c. The
7
8 non-freezable water (responsible to prevent water from freezing) makes hydrogen bonding with
9
10 the hydrophilic groups and freezable water present nearby the attached molecules of water.97 The
11
12
13
fraction of two kinds of water was changed by changing the cross-linkage of hydrophilic
14
15 polymer.98 The author scrutinized the effect of cross-linking on ice adhesion strength by
16
17 exploring the conjugation efficiency (f) of DA to PAA (mole ratio between PAA and DA). The
18
19
increase in conjugation efficiency (f) of DA to PAA steadily reduce the ice adhesion till τice = 30
20
21
22 kPa due to the increase in the fraction of unfreezable water Cunf which act as a lubricant in the
23
24 network. Therefore, the synergistic effect of an increase in the fraction of unfreezable water Cunf
25
26 and depression in freezing point of freezable water steadily decreased the ice adhesion strength.

12
13 hydrophilic components, the amphiphilic polymer based coatings disperse the water molecules
14
15
16 and decrease the ice adhesion strength due to their hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups
17
18 respectively. Upadhyay et al. revealed the decrease in ice adhesion strength on polyurethane-
19
20 based amphiphilic coatings of hydrophobic PDMS and hydrophilic PEG.104 Van Dyke et al.
21
22
23 fabricated the biphilic surfaces by photolithography to mask the hydrophilic spots with a
24
25 deposition of a self-assembled monolayer of octadecyltrichlorosilane. The prepared biphilic
26
27 surface not only suppressed the freezing point of water at 60% humidity but also changed the
28
29
size and number of drops.105 Zigmond et al. also established amphiphilic hyperbranched
30
31
32 fluoropolymers, crosslinked through a nucleophilic reaction between the amino group of bis(3-
33
34 aminopropyl) terminated PEG. The author observed -25 °C and 0 °C freezing point of bound and
35
36 free water respectively within the HBFP(III)-PEG matrix through DSC analysis.106 Li et al.

14 Where D is the thickness of the depletion layer which increased by increasing the hydrophobicity
15
16 of the surface and A is the constant. The surface hydrogen-bonded water molecules remained
17
18
19 non-frozen, even below the freezing point of water and served as a self-lubricating interfacial
20
21 liquid-like layer to reduce the ice adhesion strength with amphiphilic surface. The existence of
22
23 non-frozen water molecules at the ice-solid interface was confirmed by solid-state nuclear
24
25
26
magnetic resonance spectroscopy. NMR analysis also measured the high viscosity of the non-
27
28 frozen water molecules which delayed the heterogeneous ice nucleation on amphiphilic
29
30 coatings.108 Liu et al prepared poly [2-(Methacryloyloxy)ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride
31
32 (PMETA) brushes via SI-ATRP and changed the wettability from a hydrophilic to a hydrophobic
33
34
35 by changing the ions like Cl-1, ClO4-, PF6-, PFO-2. The author explained the mechanism of the
36
37 establishment of water depletion region to suppress the ice propagation on dehydrated
38
39 polyelectrolyte surfaces with hydrophobic counter-ion as shown in Figure 11C. The amount of
40
41
42 freezable water within the polyelectrolyte brush was found to be decreased significantly by
43
44 increasing the hydrophobicity of counter-ions.109 Zhang et al. also fabricated an amphiphilic anti-

4
5
6
Anti-freezing proteins are capable to adsorb on ice surface to inhibit its further growth and delay
7
8
9 the freezing time by lowering the temperature at which ice growth occurs.111,112 Anti-freezing
10
11 proteins consist of two types, the antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs) and the antifreeze proteins
12
13 (AFPs). The AFGPs are made of a tri-peptide repeating unit as shown in Figure 12 A but AFPs
14
15
16 have different size and structures. These unique compounds survive the organisms below zero
17
18 temperatures by inhibiting the ice growth.113
19
20
21 4.5.1. MECHANISM ACTION OF AFPs. The mechanism by which biological antifreeze adsorb
22
23
to ice crystal and inhibit its further growth has been discussed with great interest in last decade.
24
25
26 Knight et al. considered the biological ‘antifreeze’ as solutes that stick to the ice crystals in
27
28 super-cooled water and inhibit their further growth.114 Generally accepted adsorption-inhibition
29
30 mechanism explain the phenomenon of ice growth in presence of AF(G)Ps. The round flat
31
32
33 crystals are produced due to the adsorption of AF(G)Ps in the ice plane but the curvature of the
34
35 crystals remain unaffected without AF(G)Ps. This increase in surface curvature resulted, increase
36
37 in vapor pressure and decrease in melting point of water molecules.115 AFPs are also useful in
38
39
40
inhibiting the accumulation of ice particles in engineering applications. Grandum et al. inhibited
41
42 the accumulation of ice particles by adding 5 mg/ml AFP to ice slurries. The ice slurries
43
44 containing AFP flowed in a pipe almost similar to that of liquid water.116 Zhang et al. designed
45
46
twelve amino acid peptides as antifreeze protein mimetic to observe its antifreeze activity.
47
48
49 According to the adsorption-inhibition mechanism, the antifreeze protein mimetic adsorbed to
50
51 the surface of ice crystal and produced micro-curvatures on the surface of ice crystals which
52
53 resulted in depression of freezing point due to Kelvin effect.117

6 Gwak et al. observed delay in ice formation on Al metal by fusing Al-binding peptide with
7
8 Chaetoceros neogracile (Cn-AFP) as shown in Figure 12B. Cn-AFP-coated Al showed the
9
10 inhibition of ice growth and lowering in freezing point due to the thermal hysteresis of Cn-AFP.
11
12
13
In addition, trehalose coating of Cn-AFP-Al delayed the denaturation of AFP on aluminum with
14
15 no effect on its anti-freezing property. This trehalose-fortified AFP coating method is applied to
16
17 different metals especially in aircraft industry.118 Liu et al prepared an anti-icing coating with
18
19
ice-binding face (IBF) and the non-ice-binding face (NIBF) of anti-freezing protein by
20
21
22 incorporating the AFPs from Microdera punctipennis dzungarica beetle into polydopamine
23
24 (PDA) and (3-glycidoxypropyl)methyldimethoxysilane (GOPTS) as shown in Figure12C. They
25
26 confirmed that the IBF can facilitate ice nucleation and NIBF can depress ice nucleation on
27
28
29 silicon substrate. As shown in Figure 12(D-E) that ice nucleation occurred on non-ice-binding
30
31 face NIBF surface and IBF surface at 2254 sec and 8 sec respectively.119 Meister et al found the
32
33 presence of ice-like water layers at the ice-binding site of the protein in aqueous solution at
34
35
36
temperatures above the freezing point. They observed the increase in the amount of ice-like
37
38 water at low temperature of the protein (0 °C to -2 °C) and suggested that the ordered ice-like
39
40 water layers along with protein also play their role for the recognition and binding to ice.120 Anti-
41
42
freezing proteins are not always fit for practical applications due to their high price, toxic in
43
44
45 nature, isolation and purification problems.121 The polyampholytes with positive and negative
46
47 charge groups on a single chain are known as good anti-freezing protein analogs. Recently, He et
48
49 al. studied the behavior of heterogeneous ice nucleation on different ion-modified poly(butylene
50
51
52 succinate) (PBS) surfaces. Inspired by anti-freezing proteins, the author produced various PBS-
53
54 based polyampholyte coatings with1:1ratio of -NH2 to -COOH groups. The PBS-based

13 4.6. ORGANOGELS. Generally, the organogels are semisolids in which an adequate amount of
14
15
16 organic liquid is infused in the cross-linked network, which act as a reservoir to sustain the
17
18 durability of surface.123 Yao et al. described the switching of water adhesion on n-paraffin
19
20 swollen PDMS elastomer due to the phase change property of n-paraffin. At T > Tm (melting
21
22
23 temperature of n-paraffin) the PDMS surface showed low-adhesion with water drop owing to the
24
25 attraction between liquid paraffin and PDMS. Whereas, at T < Tm, paraffin became the part of
26
27 the solid surface due to its solidification and caused to rough the gel surface which resulted in
28
29
high water adhesion (i.e Wenzel state). The increase in the viscosity of paraffin near the melting
30
31
32 temperature also affected the mobility of drops.124 Wang et al. synthesized a durable organogel
33
34 anti-icing coating by swelling cross-linked PDMS network with liquid paraffin (LP). The
35
36 swelled PDMS showed very low ice adhesion strength 1.7 ± 1.2 kPa compared to flat PDMS
37
38
39 146.3 ± 9.3 kPa. The LP swelled phenyl silicone and butyl rubber also showed 60 and 20 times
40
41 reduction in ice adhesion strength compared to their dry polymers. The author also found the LP
42
43 swelled organogel maintained the ice adhesion strength 0.7 kPa at -60°C.125 The same author also
44
45
46 revealed the durable ice-phobic surface of solid organogel due to the regenerability of the
47
48 sacrificial alkane layer as shown in Figure 13. The icephobic property did not fade after
49
50 sandpaper abrasions and twenty icing/deicing cycles.
51
52
53 In addition, the durable solid organogel surface showed no change in its icephobic property
54
55
56 during 100-day storage because the material of the surface neither evaporated nor contaminated
57

3 by other surfaces.126 Therefore, the infused liquids can be replaced with solid regenerable
4
5
6 sacrificial layers. Golovin et al. suggested the insertion of small miscible polymeric chains to
7
8 induce lubricating layers and interfacial slippage at the interface. The author obtained ultra-low
9
10 ice adhesion (0.15 kPa) organogels by changing the crosslink density of PDMS.127 The same
11
12
13
author also designed more than a hundred icephobic surfaces and built a framework to predict
14
15 the ice adhesion strength of icephobic polymers. Organogels are preferred due to their ultra-low
16
17 ice adhesion and durability.128 Han et al. prepared a durable anti-freezing and anti-heating
18
19
hydrogel by UV-initiated copolymerization of acrylamide with acrylic acid in a binary solvent
20
21
22 (glycerol-water). Polydopamine-CNTs were incorporated as nano-reinforcements to induce

The smart and stimuli-responsive icephobic surfaces130 are desirable in extreme environment;
51
52 such surfaces can be obtained by using the stimuli-responsive materials having both passive anti-
53
54 icing and active deicing functions. Therefore, it is need of the hour to use temperature, light131,

3 pH and humidity responsive materials to achieve the active deicing application. Ramachandran
4
5
6 et al. examined the roughness and wetting properties of thermo-genic plant skunk cabbage due to
7
8 its ability to melt snow. They developed a heat transfer model to observe icephobic performance.
9
10 The heat produced by the plant maintained a thin water layer and air pockets between ice and the
11
12
13
leaf surface. This helped to slip off the ice easily due to its own weight.132 Recently Karim et al
14
15 made glass fibre roving and coated with conductive ink of graphene for de-icing applications.
16
17 The conductive glass fibre roving was also combined with epoxy composites by knitting to heat
18
19
them with desired temperature as shown in Figure 14 A. They dipped the conductive epoxy
20
21
22 composite into an ice-bucket to observe its deicing ability with the increase of temperature. The
23
24 temperature of bucket having only ice remained same after half an hour but the bucket with
25
26 conductive graphene composite showed -0.1 °C to 28 °C increase in temperature within five

11 6. SUMMARY AND FUTURE PERSPECTIVES
12
13
14 The possible icephobic strategies and materials with superwettability along with their design
15
16
17
principles and mechanism are classified into different sections. On the basis of wettability and
18
19 nucleation theories the fundamental characterization parameters for icephobic surfaces i.e low
20
21 CAH, high receding contact angles, low water adhesion force, promoting homogeneous
22
23
nucleation at high nucleation energy, high inhomogeneity and less stability at the interface of
24
25
26 ice-substrate are discussed. The superhydrophobic surfaces are described for their short contact
27
28 time with small radius of water droplet and thermodynamically delay in freezing point of water.
29
30 The poor anti-icing efficiency of the superhydrophobic surface is mentioned due to the
31
32
33 accumulation of super-cooled micro droplets and pinning of contact line at the interface. The
34
35 springboard effect is explained by elastomers to impart icephobic behavior. The elimination of
36
37 possible ice nucleation sites due to the homogeneous interface of the SLIPS coating and delay in
38
39
40
freezing time on the SLIPS is also discussed. The non-freezable water (responsible to prevent
41
42 water from freezing) make hydrogen bonding with the hydrophilic groups of SLIPSs (aqueous
43
44 lubricating layer), amphiphilic and anti-freezing protein is debated. The organogels are discussed
45
46
due to their extremely low ice adhesion strength and finally the stimuli-responsive materials are
47
48
49 highlighted for active anti-icing purpose. Future trends in icephobic surfaces may see by
50
51 approaching homogeneous nucleation (suppress ice nucleation up to -25 °C) through surface
52
53 nanotexturing with radius of curvature less than 10 times the critical nuclei size. The soft
54
55
56 materials with suitable roughening, is also a promising approach to make icephobic surfaces due
57
58 41
59
60 ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Langmuir Page 42 of 60

1
2
3 to their excellent water and ice repellency under harsh conditions. Future work should also focus
4
5
6 on self-healing, stimuli-responsive smart icephobic surfaces by using the materials having both
7
8 passive anti-icing and active deicing functions.
