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 ...

Premier Forest Products launches the world’s first fire-retardant and water-resistant plywood. DryGuard FR is the world’s only plywood that combines advanced water and fire protection, and it’s ...

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 ...

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 ...
