Self-cleaning and anti-fogging hierarchical structure arrays inspired by termite wing

Chung-Jui La et al.

Summary: The wings of the Formosan subterranean termite have micrometer-scale hairs and nanometer-scale wax patches, which reduce adhesions to water droplets. Inspired by this anti-wetting structure, a colloidal lithography-based strategy integrated with a scalable self-assembly approach was developed to engineer hierarchical conical structure arrays. The resulting superhydrophobic structures had a water contact angle of 175.3 degrees and a low contact angle hysteresis of 2.7 degrees, and featured self-cleaning and anti-fogging capabilities.

Freezing-induced wetting transitions on superhydrophobic surfaces

Henry Lambley et al.

Summary: Supercooled droplet freezing on surfaces is a common phenomenon in nature and industry, but little is known about its effect on droplet-substrate interactions and the design of icephobic surfaces. This study investigates freezing of supercooled droplets on textured surfaces and identifies surface properties that promote ice expulsion. The study also explores mechanisms through which repellency falters and provides insights into the phenomenology of ice adhesion throughout freezing. The findings contribute to the design of icephobic surfaces for increased safety and sustainability in engineering applications.

A review of self-cleaning technology to reduce dust and ice accumulation in photovoltaic power generation using superhydrophobic coating

Yubo Wu et al.

Summary: Photovoltaic power is an important method for achieving carbon emissions neutrality, but dust accumulation significantly reduces the efficiency of power generation. Superhydrophobic coatings have the potential to effectively reduce dust adhesion due to their special structures and low surface energy. However, their application is limited by the shape of the object and their durability.

A state-of-the-art review on the multifunctional self-cleaning nanostructured coatings for PV panels, CSP mirrors and related solar devices

Deepanjana Adak et al.

Summary: Solar energy-based devices require self-cleaning coatings on glass surfaces to maintain performance. Traditional sol-gel processes are suitable for small-scale production, while spray based processes are more cost-effective for large-scale production. The self-cleaning coatings can be hydrophobic or hydrophilic, and selecting the right materials and parameters is important to maintain transparency and reflectivity. This review explores the principles, deposition techniques, performance evaluation, and lifespan of these coatings, as well as recent advances in atmospheric pressure plasma deposition and the use of non-fluorinated polymer materials.

Experimental investigation of the anti-soiling performances of different wettability of transparent coatings: Superhydrophilic, hydrophilic, hydrophobic and superhydrophobic coatings

Zu-Sheng Huang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of surface roughness and surface energy on reducing dust adhesion on PV panels by preparing coatings with different wettability. It was found that the high surface energy of superhydrophilic coatings played a significant role in resisting dust adhesion, while further reducing surface energy on other coatings had limited impact on improving dust-proof ability. Additionally, large airflow velocity was beneficial for resisting dust adhesion for all types of coatings, but had limited effect on improving the anti-soiling effect of superhydrophilic coating under different tilt angles compared to other three coatings.
