In winter, while the freezing of water can create breathtaking landscapes, it also poses significant operational challenges when ice accumulates on functional surfaces. Ice obstructs solar panels, impairs car windshield visibility, increases energy consumption in appliances due to insulation, and cause structural failures or collapses weight rigidity. To address these issues, various active de-icing methods are employed cold regions. However, passive anti-icing solutions gaining preference for their lower consumption, cost-effectiveness, environmental benefits. While superhydrophobic surfaces delay formation, they do not fully resolve problem. Understanding interaction between moisture-essential formation-can inspire innovative design principles. This review examines icing physics, identifies critical factors affecting evaluates icephobic surfaces, discusses practical application challenges. We outline promising principles emphasizing broad applicability across diverse environments.
