The　formation　and　accumulation　of　ice　can　lead　to　severe　economic　loss　or　even　loss　of　life.　To　prevent　these　losses,　there　has　been　rapid　development　in　icephobic　materials　in　recent　years.　To　deal　with　various　icing　conditions　and　different　types　of　components,　it　is　highly　desirable　to　develop　a　surface　that　possesses　both　passive　anti-icing　and　active　deicing　functions.　However,　so　far　there　is　no　suitable　solution　for　anti-icing　material　with　adequate　durability,　low　cost,　and　simplicity　in　fabrication　that　can　also　be　turned　into　active　deicing　when　necessary.　Here,　we　demonstrate　a　magnetically　responsive　and　flexible　superhydrophobic　photothermal　film　(PFe-PCS)　consisting　of　polydimethylsiloxane　(PDMS),　iron　powder　(Fe),　and　candle　soot　(CS).　The　film　displayed　both　passive　anti-icing　and　active　deicing　performances　by　a　simple　approach　without　using　fluorine-containing　chemicals.　The　film　consists　of　two　superhydrophobic　layers　that　can　trap　two　air　layers　in　the　micro/nano　structures.　As　a　result,　the　freezing　time　is　4.7　times　of　that　of　bare　substrate.　Such　designed　surface　structure　not　only　displays　a　significant　delay　in　water　freezing　time,　but　also　minimizes　heat　loss　by　keeping　the　heat　within　the　top　surface　during　photothermal　heating.　The　accumulated　ice　can　be　immediately　melted　in　237　s　and　the　melted　water　can　be　rapidly　rolled　off.　The　PFe-PCS　film　can　be　applied　to　substrates　with　complex　shapes　including　curved　substrates　via　magnetic　force.　More　importantly,　the　PFe-PCS　film　displayed　excellent　stability　when　exposed　to　strong　acid,　base,　salt　solutions　and　liquid　nitrogen.　The　superhydrophobicity　and　anti-icing　performances　were　well　retained　after　320　cycles　sandpaper　abrasion,　3　h　water　flow　impact,　and　cyclic　icing/deicing.　This　work　originated　the　concept　of　double　layered　surface　structure　for　both　passive　anti-icing　and　active　de-icing.　The　film　is　robust　and　self-healing,　making　it　potentially　applicable　for　ice　prevention　and　removal　for　various　shaped　components.　©　2021　Elsevier　B.V.
