“…It was observed that the formation of different lengths through the spray-deposition method involved complex behavior governed by aggregation, agglomeration, and the formation of clusters of particles during the deposition process. [33,34] Thus, our study extends these observations with time-dependent insights to the structural evolution. However, the observed kinetics do not obey simple growth laws, such as Ostwald ripening.…”

The spray-deposition technique is an effective and scalable method to deposit zinc oxide nanostructures, which are used as active layers for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) in the present study. The dynamics of structural evolution are studied with grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering during in situ spraying. Nanostructured films obtained through multiple spray shots provide suitable structural length scales, morphologies, and film thicknesses; this leads to reasonable performance in a DSSC with the highest short-circuit current density reported so far.

Abstract. Surfaces that exhibit reversible wettability toward water are extremely important for a variety of technological applications. In this context, the development of superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic surfaces for self-cleaning applications has been receiving a great deal of attention in the last few years. In this review, an overview of the current state-of-science and technology of self-cleaning surfaces is presented. The current understanding of physics of wetting leading to surfaces with predictive, controllable and reversible wettability is first presented. The review then focuses on materials, mainly metal oxides and their composites, employed for self-cleaning applications. It is shown that, although conventionally oxides and polymers are considered for self-cleaning applications, recent developments point toward the use of artificially engineered surfaces with hierarchical roughness. Applications of self-cleaning films in nonconventional areas such as protection of fabrics, solar cells and structures related to cultural heritage are discussed. The review ends with an outlook for the future in terms of science and technology of self-cleaning surfaces.

“…N.L. Tarwal et al designed a superhyrophobic surface with a function of anti-fog [25]. Chih-Wei Peng et al prepared a polyaniline surface with biomimetic superhydrophobic structures by nanocasting technique, and the superhydrophobic surface was found to reveal better corrosion protection as prepared to the flat polyaniline surface [23].…”
