Abstract
A large amount of energy is lost in industrial active deicing. One problem is that water retention on the surface after ice melting decreases the overall heat-transfer coefficient by up to 20%. The Miljkovic group utilizes heterogeneous biphilic surfaces to enhance defrosting performance. They avoid water retention as the slush is rapidly drawn toward the hydrophilic regions before it completely melts.
