Abstract
A photo-thermal anti-icing/de-icing SLIPS coating is designed based on porous light-responsive MOFs. Due to the strong light absorption and high light-thermal conversion, the as-synthetic SCMOFs exhibited prolonged freezing delay time and depressed water crystallization point under light irradiation. Meantime, the SCMOFs exhibit good deicing properties. With the irradiation, the half-melted ice slips off quickly.
