Abstract: Graphene-based antifreeze and deicing materials have demonstrated significant potential in antifreeze and deicing applications due to their exceptional electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, high specific surface area, and outstanding mechanical properties. These characteristics enhance thermal conversion efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and improve environmental adaptability. Current research primarily focuses on developing graphene-based composites by integrating polymers, metals, ceramics, and other materials to enhance their mechanical and thermal properties. Additionally, the exploration of environmentally friendly and cost-effective fabrication methods has become a key research direction. Future advancements in this field will emphasize optimizing the stability, durability, and cost-efficiency of these materials while expanding their applications in renewable energy sectors, such as the prevention of ice formation on solar panels.
