    During cold winter months, snow accumulation on high-voltage overhead transmission lines can seriously threaten the reliability of power transmission and communication systems



    Recently, Prof.

    Specifically, the researchers developed a low-emissivity solar-assisted superhydrophobic (LE-SS) coating that can be sprayed on flat and complex curved surfaces, including power lines and cables


    Figure 2.


    【Design and manufacture of LE-SS coating】

    Since TiN nanoparticles achieve strong selective absorption through localized surface plasmon resonance in the visible region, TiN nanoparticles are selected as solar absorbing materials


    【Low-temperature superhydrophobic double-scale particles】

    As shown in Fig.


    【Excellent solar thermal performance】

    On a planar Al surface, the absorbance/emissivity spectra of the best LE-SS coatings are shown in Fig.


    Figure 3.


    【Process Compatibility of Flat and Curved Surfaces】

    LE-SS spray coating is suitable for both flat and curved surfaces, as well as different substrates


    Figure 4.


    [De-icing performance of LE-SS coated cable]

    To evaluate the deicing performance of the LE-SS coating, the researchers conducted comparative deicing experiments under different solar intensities on the pristine and LE-SS coated ACSR cables in a custom-made freezer (Fig.

    【summary】

    The researchers developed a superhydrophobic solar thermal icephobic coating that is transparent in the mid-infrared region, yielding a low emissivity
