- Abstract
The energy problem has been a matter of some concern worldwide over the past 20 years. On the opposite side of energy production, energy loss is another crucial problem of current energy due to the low efficiency of heat transfer from scale deposition. However, less attention has been paid on the further development of advanced antiscaling interfacial materials, which may provide promising ways to save energy by reducing scale fouling. Herein, the development of antiscaling strategies is summarized from the basic theories and fabrication methods to antiscaling interfacial materials with potential applications. First, the mechanism of scale formation and the corresponding effect on thermal conductivity are introduced. Second, the typical fabrication approaches of antiscaling interfacial materials are briefly described. Finally, the performance, potential applications, future challenges, and opportunities of the advanced antiscaling interfacial materials are comprehensively discussed.
