a Frost content on the bare and coated Al alloy plates after 30 min frosting test without sunlight or under 0.1 sun. De-frosting process on the bare and coated (b) Al alloy plates, (c) cable lines, and (d) wind turbine blade models in the −10 °C and 80% RH environment under 0.1 sun. The frost is ~0.8 mm in thickness in (b). Data in (a) are shown as mean ± SD, n = 5. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
