The conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable chemical products via the electrochemical CO2 conversion reaction could ...

They used carbon quantum dots (CQDs) as a solvent to improve the dispersibility of hydrophobic coatings like tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS). The CQD ...

The cyclical alternation of hydrophobic and superhydrophilic effects prevents the dirt to adhere to the panel surface during the day. The scientists fabricated the first coating prototype with ...

Yelin Ko, a doctoral student in the field of fiber science, is the first author of "UiO-66 Inspired Superhydrophobic Coatings ...

A European group of scientists has created a novel hydrophobic antireflective (AR) coating for the cover glass of PV modules. The double-layer coating uses a silica-titania (SiO2-TiO2) thin film ...

It was found that the hydrophobic melanin particles obtained by coating with octadecyl groups exhibited almost the same level of hydrophobicity as particles coated with fluorine compounds ...

The structural color coating does not fade away like the conventional paints and exhibits self-cleaning properties. This was achieved by using hydrophobic melanin particles which provide ...
