Abstract:-The dissolution of glass in highly alkaline reaction mixtures and the impact of this phenomenon on zeolite coating formation were investigated. Coating samples were prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEGSEM) and thermogravimetry (TG). It was demonstrated that zeolite X coatings might be prepared on soda-lime glass. Glass dissolved to some degree, up to 2% of its original mass, in the reaction mixtures for the conditions investigated. This di… Show more
“…Previous investigations of beta polymorph A and mordenite-framework-inverted zeolite have shown a reduction in reflected light to less than 1% in the visible spectral range [6]. Outstanding AR characteristics were obtained by properly fabricating zeolite thin film for optical lens and glass replacing the existing analogs [7,8,9].…”
A straightforward and effective spin-coating technique at 120 °C was investigated for the deposition of a thin nanoporous layer with antireflection properties onto glass and indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass. A mixture of zeolite 3A powder and high iodine value vegetable oil was deposited, creating a carbonic paste with embedded nanoporous grains. Experimental results evidenced excellent broadband antireflection over the visible-near-infrared wavelength range (450–850 nm), with a diffuse reflectance value of 1.67% and 1.79%. Structural and optical characteristics stabilized over time. The results are promising for the accessible and cost-effective fabrication of an antireflective surface for optoelectronic devices.
