A one-stone-two-birds tactic: Pyrolysis-driven durable superhydrophobic wood/bamboo with photothermal effect for outdoor ice prevention

Key Points

• Enhanced durability and superhydrophobic properties significantly reduce outdoor ice formation.
• Key evidence shows a 30% improvement in ice prevention compared to untreated samples.
• Pyrolysis treatment applied to wood and bamboo promotes photothermal effects for effective ice management.
• This approach supports broader outdoor applications, though long-term field assessments are essential.
