This invention relates to the field of photothermal anti-
icing and de-
icing technology, and discloses a
tellurium nanowire / modified diatomaceous earth composite photothermal superhydrophobic anti-
icing coating, its preparation method, and its application. The method includes: (1) mixing diatomaceous earth, an alkali-
alcohol mixture, water, a fluorinated modifier, and an
alkyl orthosilicate, stirring, then allowing it to stand and undergo
solid-liquid separation to obtain fluorinated diatomaceous earth
powder; (2) mixing
tellurium nanowires, fluorinated diatomaceous earth
powder, and an
epoxy resin-containing solution, stirring to obtain an anti-icing and de-icing
coating system, spraying the anti-icing and de-icing
coating system onto the surface of a substrate, and curing. This solution disperses
tellurium nanowires and perfluorinated diatomaceous earth in
epoxy resin to form a composite photothermal
superhydrophobic coating composed of tellurium nanowires, modified diatomaceous earth, and
epoxy resin. The combined structural features and functional advantages of this coating give it significant application potential in the fields of anti-icing and de-icing.
