Key Points

The study aims to explore the icephobic properties of surface-grown MOFs and their tunable structural features.
Utilized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with varying textures
Conducted ice adhesion tests to assess icephobicity
Analyzed the structural attributes of MOFs to understand their functional performance
MOFs exhibited significant icephobic properties with tunable surface characteristics
Improved resistance to ice accumulation compared to conventional materials
Structural modifications enhanced the overall effectiveness of icephobic surfaces

Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising candidates for advanced surface treatments due to their inherent porosity, structural tunability, and functional versatility. Herein, we utilize these unique attributes of MOFs...
