Scaling up the production of agro-byproduct-based deicer is challenging as their yield is far less than the demand. Since corn is the most planted crop in the United States, the current study focuses on developing corn-based deicers that possess lower freezing point depression, enhanced ice melting capacity, and corrosion inhibition properties. The
