6 FAQs about [Solar photovoltaic deicing equipment]

Are photothermal anti-/de-icing materials suitable for industrial applications?

Photothermal anti-/de-icing materials (PA/DIMs) have attracted significant attention due to their potential in addressing surface ice formation. To date, improved durability and harsh environment performances of PA/DIMs have greatly hindered their development in industrial applications.

What is photothermal deicing surface?

The photothermal deicing surface has excellent photothermal conversion performance and superhydrophobicity. The photothermal conversion ability ensures the supply of light and heat on the surface of the material, and the superhydrophobicity keeps the surface of the material clean .

Can passive solar-driven deicing be used on outdoor exposed surfaces?

The versatility of this coating and its compatibility with mass-production processes render passive solar-driven deicing technologies promising for practical applications on most outdoor exposed surfaces. The authors declare no conflict of interest.

Can photothermal anti-icing/deicing materials be used for outdoor anti icing applications?

Recently, the use of photothermal anti-icing/deicing materials was proposed as a more pragmatic approach for outdoor anti-icing applications.

Are photothermal phase change materials effective against icing & deicing?

Due to the constant latent heat value of the photothermal phase change materials, their anti-icing performance is limited and insufficient to meet the requirements of all-weather anti-icing/deicing applications on outdoor equipment surfaces under harsh and complex environmental conditions.

What is a multi-layer photothermal deicing system?

To solve the problem of heat loss at low temperatures, a multi-layer photothermal deicing system (PCP) composed of a photothermal layer (P), thermal-conductive layer (C) and thermal-protective layer (P) was innovatively constructed, as shown in Fig. 13f.
