Photothermal Superhydrophobic Textiles: An Emerging Paradigm from Passive Water Repellency to Active Thermal Management

Caption

  • This review proposes a representative framework for photothermal superhydrophobic textiles, highlighting the transition from single-material studies toward integrated, system-level design and intelligent applications.
  • This review deciphers the synergistic mechanism between photothermal conversion and superhydrophobicity, linking nano-/micro-scale material design to active de-icing and self-cleaning performance.
  • This review critically analyzes scalable fabrication, real-world applications, and key challenges, while outlining AI-guided optimization and stimulus-responsive systems as future pathways.
