The anti-/de-icing technology based on induction heating offers significant advantages regarding fast heating, high efficiency, safety and environmental protection. However, the reported methods require the modification of base materials, which lacks universal applicability. Here, a universal and facile anti-/de-icing method is proposed based on induction heating. The durable induction heating coating was prepared by one-step spin coating with micron-sized nickel powder, epoxy resin and silicone resin. The induction heating ability of this coating was investigated by adjusting the proportion of composition, particle size and thickness. An optimal induction heating ability was achieved with the mass ratio of nickel powder and resin, particle size of nickel powder and coating thickness being 1.5, 7 μm and 1070 μm, respectively. We further show this coating can be applied for anti-/de-icing, demonstrated by its excellent de-/anti-icing performances. Finally, the mechanical durability of the coating was verified by the tape peel and sandpaper friction.
