Popis: | A novel superhydrophobic electro-conductive coating with liquid metal (Ga90In10) and ZnO nano-petals is fabricated by integrating the methods of spraying, crystal growth and low surface energy modification. The results indicate that the paper-based surface could be superhydrophobic in cold environment and successfully realize uni-directional ice driving with the help of thermal gradient. We anticipate that the combination of excellent superhydrophobic performance of the composite structure with inherent conductive advantage of liquid metal will find a vast application prospect.
