AI Technical Summary
Wind turbine blades are prone to icing under low temperature, rain, snow and other weather conditions, which leads to reduced power generation efficiency and equipment safety threats. Existing de-icing methods are energy-intensive, have high maintenance costs, long construction cycles and short de-icing time.
Biochar was modified with potassium hydroxide and hydrogen to form a microporous structure and introduce hydrophobic hydrogen atoms. Combined with MoS2 loading, a superhydrophobic photothermal anti-icing coating material was prepared, which actively de-iced by utilizing the photothermal effect of MoS2.
It improves the light absorption and heat conduction capacity of the coating, reduces ice adhesion strength, achieves active and efficient de-icing, reduces the icing area, improves aerodynamic performance, and reduces energy consumption and maintenance costs.
