Dual functionality of K0.3WO3/Ag2O nanocomposites for smart window: Energy saving and visible photocatalytic self-cleaning performance
摘要： Series of novel K0.3WO3/Ag2O nanocomposites were successfully prepared by simple two steps method. An exciting fact that near-infrared light shielding and visible photocatalytic self-cleaning effects are integrated into the K0.3WO3/Ag2O film (weight ratio of K0.3WO3 to Ag2O = 30) could offer significant potential applications in smart windows. Furthermore, the optical properties and photocatalytic activity of the composites could be tuned by adjusting the weight ratio of K0.3WO3 to Ag2O. The obtained K0.3WO3/Ag2O films presented enhanced photocatalytic self-cleaning performance compared with pure K0.3WO3 under visible light irradiation. The improved self-cleaning performance of the K0.3WO3/Ag2O composites was ascribed to a combined contribution of the matched energy band structures and boosted separation efficiency of photo-generated carriers. An approximately 2.3°C-3.4 °C decrease in inner temperature was obtained for the heat box covered with K0.3WO3/Ag2O coated glass. Therefore, the proposed K0.3WO3/Ag2O (weight ratio of K0.3WO3 to Ag2O = 30) smart coating is a promising material for self-cleaning energy-saving windows.

Room Temperature Synthesis of Germanium Oxide Nanofilaments and Their Potential Use as Luminescent Self‐Cleaning Surfaces
摘要： Germanium oxide nanofilaments (GNFs) have been synthesized under ambient conditions from the gas phase using germanium tetrachloride as a precursor. Non-crystalline GNFs synthesized by this procedure are 1-10 μm in length and 80-110 nm in diameter applying Droplet Assisted Growth and Shaping (DAGS) Chemistry. The relative humidity has been adjusted at various values in order to demonstrate the crucial role of humidity in the gas phase for the nanofilament synthesis. The novel GNFs show a strong luminescence emission in the ultra-violet and light blue region. In addition, a self-cleaning and superhydrophobic properties could be introduced in the luminescent GNF nanofilaments by simple treatment with silane molecules.

CsxWO3 nanosheet-coated cotton fabric with multiple functions: UV/NIR shielding and full-spectrum-responsive self-cleaning
摘要： Utilizing fewer functional materials to achieve multifunctional fabrics via facile approaches have been confronting worldwide scientists with an enormous challenge. In this study, a novel multifunctional cotton fabric, combining UV/NIR shielding and full-spectrum-responsive self-cleaning, has been fabricated via self-assembly of CsxWO3 nanosheets based on electrostatic interaction assisted by Poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) in aqueous solution. The microstructure of CsxWO3 nanosheets and their self-assembly coating on cotton fabric were characterized and investigated. The functional properties of the CsxWO3-coated cotton fabric, including UV/NIR shielding and photocatalytic self-cleaning were evaluated. The results indicate that the CsxWO3-coated cotton fabric exhibits superb UV/NIR and heat shielding performance with 15.8 °C and 5.9 °C lower than no coverage and coverage by none-treated cotton fabric, respectively. Moreover, the well-coated cotton fabric demonstrates photocatalytic self-cleaning property responsive to the light ranging from UV, Vis to NIR, especially exhibits highly efficient self-cleaning under the respective irritation of full-spectrum, UV and Vis light (color faded completely within 10 h). In summary, the CsxWO3-coated fabrics can achieve multi-functions of UV shielding, heat insulation and self-cleaning by means of a single functional nanomaterial and promise of huge applications in functional textiles.

Photoactive Gel for Assisted Cleaning during Olive Mill Wastewater Membrane Microfiltration
摘要： A photoactive gel has been fabricated on the surface of polyethylene membranes for enhancing the fouling resistance during olive mill wastewater treatment. Light and pH responsive materials have been introduced in the membrane surface through the build up of a layer-by-layer pattern, which is formed by photocatalytic nanoparticles and ionic polyelectrolytes. The best working conditions to contrast foulants adsorption have been explored and identified. Repulsive interfacial forces and assisted transfer of foulants to catalytic sites have been envisaged as crucial factors for contrasting the decline of the flux during microfiltration. Tests in submerged configuration have been implemented for six continuous hours under irradiation at two different pH conditions. As a result, a worthy efficiency of the photoactive gel has been reached when suitable chemical microenvironments have been generated along the shell side of the membranes. No additional chemical reagents or expensive back-flushing procedures have been necessary to further clean the membranes; rather, fast and reversible pH switches have been enough to remove residues, thereby preserving the integrity of the layer-by-layer (LBL) complex onto the membrane surface.

Application of Titanium Dioxide Self-Cleaning Coatings on Photovoltaic Modules for Soiling Related Losses Reduction
摘要： Several studies have assessed the influence of soiling deposition on Photovoltaic (PV) modules front-cover with regards to performance losses over time. In fact, soiling phenomena in PV systems are ascribed as responsible for medium and long-term yield reduction up to 16% over the first-year of outdoor exposure. Provided that PV technology is a low yield energy production source, maintaining module initial power output declared values is of the outmost importance to ensure that the return time of investment matches project calculations. The scope of this work was a detailed investigation on self-cleaning coating application as a viable retrofit option on already installed modules, or on newly built PV systems, to avoid soiling build-up on front-covers and guarantee threshold performance level in time. The aim is to provide system designers with a consistent alternative to manual cleaning, without losing effectiveness in terms of yield maintenance. The use of self-cleaning coating instead of acting on panels on a regular basis is more convenient in terms of operation and cost. These issues were analyzed through a set of experiments performed both on commercial size modules and laboratory assembled samples. Results prove product compatibility with PV components and its effectiveness in preventing soiling and dust deposition. Outcomes are presented in terms of maximum power output (Pmax) variation according to measurements performed in Standard Test Conditions (STC) at different time steps. In addition, a parallel comparison with uncoated modules exposed to the same outdoor conditions is also proposed to allow for Pmax variation monitoring performed on a reference sample.

Transparent hard self-cleaning nano-hybrid coating on polymeric substrate
摘要： In this research, GPTMS-silica nano-hybrid coatings were immobilized on polycarbonate (PC) substrates by a sol-gel method. Perfluorooctyl-trichlorosilane (PFTS) was utilized to modify the prepared nano-hybrid coating surface. The modified nano-hybrid coatings were characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (EDS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), UV–vis-NIR spectrophotometer, and water contact angle analyzer methods. In addition, the self-cleaning properties of the nano-hybrid coatings were investigated. The results indicated that the formation of the nano-hybrid film improved the hardness and transmittance of the PC substrate. FE-SEM image indicated the formation of the crack free coating on the PC substrate. In addition, the modified nano-hybrid coating displays hydrophobicity (CA, 110°) and is very efficient at removing dust through water droplets.

A novel and facile way to fabricate transparent superhydrophobic film on glass with self-cleaning and stability
摘要： Transparency is one of the most important properties of superhydrophobic (SHP) surface applied on outdoor solar cells and other outdoor windows. In this work, transparent SHP ZnO surface was fabricated via RF magnetron sputtering method. The effect of film thickness and surface roughness on the wettability and optical property of the as-prepared surfaces were investigated. Results show that the as-prepared SHP ZnO surface with sputtering time of 2 min exhibits excellent self-cleaning property and stability against corrosive rain, various environmental temperatures and impacting water droplet with high velocity. The fabrication process is stable and easy to control, which can largely widen the applications of the as-prepared transparent SHP surfaces.

Dual metal oxide loaded cotton/polyester fabric with photo, bio and magnetic properties
摘要： This research aimed at sonochemical synthesis and deposition of Fe3O4/ZnO nanocomposites on cotton/polyester fabric using the ultrasonic bath at 80°C. For this purpose, in situ sonosynthesis of magnetite nanoparticles on the fabric surface was carried out and followed by the generation of crystalline ZnO nanoparticles through the sonochemical approach, eliminating the need for high temperature after-treatment of the fabrics. This effect was achieved thanks to the shock waves formed by the cavitation bubbles also called microcalcination, resulting in the formation and adsorption of crystalline nanomaterials on the fabric surface. Magnetic properties with saturation magnetization of 1.5 emu/g, self-cleaning activities toward methylene blue discoloration, and excellent antibacterial and antifungal properties along with low cell toxicity were among the obtained properties. The current study is the first research indicating the potential of the sonochemical method to produce non-toxic cotton/polyester fabric with various properties including magnetic, photocatalytic, and antibacterial activities.

摘要： In the present work, a mild strategy was employed to obtain cotton fabrics (CFs) coated with Cu2(OH)PO4 (CHP) nanoparticles to achieve self-cleaning property. The phytic acid (IP6) assisted method was employed to synthesize nanoparticles (CHP-IP6). The as-prepared coated cotton fabrics were characterized using the following techniques: Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The CHP-IP6 coated cotton fabrics showed significant photocatalytic activity, excellent photocatalytic stability, and good discoloration of methylene blue (MB) stains when exposed to sunlight, which could have important applications as tablecloths, household apparels, and industrial workwear.

Hybrid Laser Ablation and Chemical Modification for Fast Fabrication of Bio-inspired Super-hydrophobic Surface with Excellent Self-cleaning, Stability and Corrosion Resistance
摘要： Although laser ablation is considered as a facile technique to fabricate bio-inspired super-hydrophobic surfaces, the issue is that the initial laser treated metallic surfaces show super-hydrophilic property. It will take a long period to reach super-hydrophobic state under ambient air. It is reported that these super-hydrophobic surfaces could be easily damaged by thermal heating effect or interaction with other liquids, causing uncontrolled loss of super-hydrophobicity. In this study, a stable super-hydrophobic aluminum surface was rapidly fabricated via the hybrid laser ablation and surface chemical modification of (heptadecafluoro-1, 1, 2, 2-tetradecyl) triethoxysilane (AC-FAS). Surface morphology and chemistry were systematically investigated to explore the generation mechanism of super-hydrophobicity. The water contact angle of the treated surfaces can reach up to 160.6? ± 1.5? with rolling angle of 3.0? ± 1.0?, exhibiting perfect self-cleaning capability, long-term stability, and excellent chemical stability in acidic as well as alkaline solutions. The potentiodynamic polarization tests implied that the super-hydrophobic surfaces showed better anti-corrosion performance. This hybrid laser ablation and surface chemical modification are very time-saving and low-cost, which offers a rapid way for quantity production of super-hydrophobic surface on aluminum material.
