Femtosecond Laser Processing Nickel Foil to Construct Three-Dimensional Porous Structure for Anti-Icing
Icing has caused great harm to human daily life and industrial applications, and superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted special attention because they can be effectively used for anti-icing without consuming external energy. In this paper, we present a method to fabricate three-dimensional porous superhydrophobic surfaces using ethanol-assisted femtosecond laser, and investigate its performance under different laser processing parameters. The prepared three-dimensional porous structure can effectively absorb the sunlight irradiated on the surface of the ultra-thin nickel foil, and its solar irradiation saturation temperature is 1.36 times that of the bare nickel surface, which can effectively improve the photothermal deicing efficiency. In addition, this structure will form a stable gas film on the surface of the material, making it have excellent superhydrophobic properties. This simple and rapid preparation method of three-dimensional porous superhydrophobic surface will show broad application prospects in the fields of anti-icing, optoelectronics, physics and chemistry.
