The use of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as de-icing agent in engineered cementitious composites (ECC) by Hasan Erhan Yücel, Maciej Dutkıewıcz, Muhammed Dıkmen

“…The energy efficiency for temperature change in room (22C°) and cold ambient (-33C°) conditions was calculated as 59.7% and 86.1%, respectively, and the energy efficiency for melting 6 cm of ice in a cold environment (-33C°) was calculated as 63.1%. Finally, a cost analysis was made for ECCs. As a result, it was concluded that rGO can be used as an effective de-icing agent in ECCs.…”
