Electrostatic Defrosting. [PDF]
Small MethodsAbstract Electrification of ice has been studied for over half a century, mostly in the context of atmospheric science. Here, the polarizability and natural thermovoltage of a substrate‐bound frost sheet are exploited for frost removal by placing an actively charged electrode overhead.

Self-Powered Edible Defrosting Sensor
ACS Sensors, 2022 Improper freezing of food causes food waste and negatively impacts the environment. In this work, we propose a device that can detect defrosting events by coupling a temperature-activated galvanic cell with an ionochromic cell, which is activated by the release of ions during current flow. Both the components of the sensor are fabricated through simple
