    Performance

## Description

- description: As an attempt to combine antifreeze and superhydrophobicity, propylene
    glycol (PG) is encaged in a porous superhydrophobic skeleton composed of ZnO tetrapods
    and polydimethylsiloxane. At room temperature, the PG-infused skeleton presents
    a large contact angle, a small sliding angle, and good repellency against impacting
    water drops, while it effectively defers frost emergence and growth in humid and
    cooling conditions. The PG-infused skeleton delays the frost onset 6 and 18 times
    longer than the superhydrophobic skeleton and silicone oil-infused skeleton, respectively.
    Moreover, it can repeatedly serve as a frost-deterrent surface up to 10 times
    without replenishment and is durable under frosting/defrosting cycles. The merits
    are ascribed to the nonaffinity between glycol and the skeleton, the humidity
    sink effect, and self-secretion of glycol out of the skeleton under cooling. The
    former lets the surface asperities of the skeleton be exposed. And the latter
    imparts good anti-icing, antifrosting, and deicing performance to the PG-infused
    skeleton. The work provides insights into liquid-infused surfaces and ice-phobic
    surfaces.
