The present invention discloses a preparation method of a photothermal super-hydrophobic
coating with excellent anti-
icing / de-
icing performance under a low temperature and high
relative humidity environment, first by in situ growth of photothermal Cu-MOF nanoparticles on the surface of low
thermal conductivity fibrous clay mineral nanoparticles, constructing a two-level nano- / nano-structured composite photothermal particle, which is then subjected to low
surface energy modification and introduced into a low
thermal conductivity binder, and a binder is induced to phase separate to form a micron-scale binder / low
surface energy nanoparticle aggregate by a non-
solvent, and finally a photothermal super-hydrophobic
coating with a three-level micro- / nano- / nano-structure is constructed by spraying. The three-level micro- / nano- / nano-structure of the
coating simultaneously gives the coating excellent photothermal performance and the Cassie-Baxter state stability of the droplet on the coating surface under a low temperature and high
relative humidity environment, so that it has excellent passive anti-
icing / frosting and active de-icing /
defrosting performance in this environment. The low
thermal conductivity of the coating further suppresses the heat exchange between the substrate-water droplets, so that the passive anti-icing / frosting performance of the coating is further improved. In addition, the present invention has the advantages of simple preparation method and large-area preparation, laying a
solid foundation for the practical application of photothermal superhydrophobic anti-icing coatings.
