The work aims to introduce composite anti-/deicing methods that combine superhydrophobic surfaces with active anti-icing methods of photothermal treatment, heating, magnetic energy, and acoustic energy, along with their mechanisms and applications. The advantages and shortcomings of the composite anti-/deicing technologies were summarized. Among them, the photothermal composite technology showed low energy consumption and diverse choice on materials. The electric heating composite technology possessed a simple process and was beneficial to preparation in a large area. The magnetic energy composite technology satisfied the needs of anti-/deicing in complex scenes. The acoustic wave composite technology had a simple structure. In addition, the simultaneous combination of multiple energy fields could further enhance the efficiency of anti/deicing performance, so it was one of the trends for developing active-passive composite technologies. Finally, the shortcomings of the current active-passive composite technologies were elaborated based on superhydrophobic surfaces, and the application of those composite anti-/deicing technologies was prospected.
