Abstract
. As a proof-of-concept, the temperature of an indoor object shielded with electric-actuated DM-SLIPS could be reversibly switched between 34 °C and 29 °C, realizing controllable solar energy input. In comparison with previously reported surfaces, the present water-repellent, ice-phobic and transparency-switchable DM-SLIPS can be more useful for thermal management in extreme climates.
