Ice nucleation behavior for sessile water droplets with different volumes on various smooth bare surfaces

Puntos clave

• Ice nucleation is influenced by droplet volume and surface characteristics, impacting freezing dynamics.
• Larger droplets show varied nucleation temperatures when placed on different smooth surfaces.
• Thermal analysis measures ice nucleation onset, focusing on sessile droplets across materials.
• Findings may aid in developing better surfaces for temperature regulation in various industries.
