The surfaces achieved a water contact angle of 158°, which indicates exceptional water repellency and anti-icing capability.
With an ice adhesion of 7.28 kPa and freezing time of 87 s at -35 °C, the surfaces show notable deicing performance.
The combination of femtosecond laser structures and MXene coatings enhances both durability and functionality under rigorous conditions.
After 200 abrasion cycles, the surfaces maintained their remarkable anti-icing and deicing properties, underscoring their potential for practical applications.
