Research topics from publications: Rationally designed surface microstructural features for enhanced droplet jumping and anti-frosting performance. Representative work: The accretion of frost on heat exchanging surfaces through the freezing of condensed water in cold and humid environments significantly reduces the operating efficiency of air-source heat pumps, refrigerators and other cryogenic equipment. The construction of hierarchical micro-nanostructured SHSs, with the ability to timely remove condensed water before freezing via self-propelled droplet jumping, serves as a promising anti-frosting strategy. However, the actual relationship between microstructural features and water removal capability through droplet jumping is still not clear, hindering the further optimization of anti-frosting SHSs. Herein, a series of aluminum SHSs with different micro-
