研究目的
To minimize dust effects on optical surfaces related to solar energy harvesting by reducing adhesion between the active surface and dust particles, and to discuss characteristics, removal methods, and challenges in achieving hydrophobicity and optical transmittance.
研究成果
Environmental dust particles, composed of various elements, adversely affect solar energy harvesting by reducing optical transmittance and increasing adhesion. Hydrophobic surfaces and oil encapsulation can mitigate these effects, but challenges remain in sustaining optical properties and repelling dust in outdoor environments. Future research should focus on developing new materials and optimizing surface treatments for practical applications.
研究不足
The paper is a perspective review, so it does not present new experimental data or specific limitations of experiments. It highlights challenges such as the difficulty in removing small dust particles from oil-textured surfaces and the need for further research on material development and oil film optimization.
