Scientists in China developed a method for preparing porous SiO2 materials by combining electron beam co-evaporation with selective chemical etching. Based on this method, all-silica ultraviolet laser ...

Slovakian scientists have developed a novel hydrophobic, antireflective coating for solar glass with a silica-titania thin film as the bottom layer and an inorganic-organic upper layer made of silica ...

Developed by an international research group, the novel anti-reflective coating is based on silicon dioxide and zirconium dioxide. It reportedly minimizes a solar cell’s reflection loss, while ...

The novel Al-SiO 2 ceramic coatings with good densification ability and oxidation resistance due to the stabilizing effect of Al on the K⁺ ion migration and coating structure. Recently, a team of ...
