The economic and safety issues caused by ice accretion have become more and more serious. Except for traditional ways of anti‐icing, such as spraying agents, mechanical/thermal removal, etc., more economic approaches are urgently required. This work demonstrates the conceptual feasibility of using a self‐lubricated photothermal coating for both anti‐icing and deicing function. The coating is generally water repellent and infiltrated with hydrocarbon or perfluorocarbon oils as the lubricant to endow a liquid interface for preventing ice accumulation and minimizing the adhesion of ice on surfaces once it is formed. Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles are added to the film to afford high efficiency photothermal effect under near‐infrared irradiation for rapidly melting the accumulated ice. The conceptual strategy can be easily implemented as a facile method to fabricate analogous sprayed coatings. It represents a major advance to tackle the challenging icing issue that is normally seen as a disaster in everyday life.
