Abstract
The accumulation of ice on solid surfaces can cause serious losses and accidents. Current anti-icing/deicing coatings find it difficult to maintain their properties under frequent mechanical wear. In this work, the aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition method was employed to prepare C-doped titanium dioxide coatings that have both photothermal properties and excellent wear resistance. The temperature of the sample surface reached 37.6 °C after 2 sun (2 kW/m2) irradiation for 30 min at -30 °C. Compared to a pristine titanium dioxide coating, the C-doped titanium dioxide coatings demonstrated superior antifriction behavior, with the friction coefficient reduced by 47% under dry conditions. These wear resistance properties make C-doped titanium dioxide coatings highly suitable for a range of outdoor applications, especially for anti-icing purposes.
