“…In the reported work, it was deposited on a polymer base layer, but it could potentially be used as the SiO 2 component of a TiO 2 /SiO 2 or Al 2 O 3 /SiO 2 multilayer coating system which otherwise lacked hydrophobicity. Dip-coated double-layer SiO 2 coatings that showed a self-cleaning effect demonstrated by contaminant removal combined with high transparency were reported by Liu et al [139].…”

A review on ceramics, glasses and glass–ceramics as thin film protective coatings for solar cells is given. The different preparation techniques and the physical and chemical properties are presented in a comparative way. This study is useful for technologies involving solar cells and solar panel cell development at the industrial scale, because protective coatings and encapsulation play a major role in increasing the lifetime of solar panels and environmental protection. The aim of this review article is to give a summary of existing ceramic, glass, and glass–ceramic protective coatings and how they apply to solar cell technology: silicon, organic or perovskite cells. Moreover, some of these ceramic, glass or glass–ceramic layers were found to have dual functionality, such as providing anti-reflectivity or scratch resistance to give a two-fold improvement to the lifetime and efficiency of the solar cell.
