“…The accumulation of these large silica aggregates within the film results in the formation of Wavelength (cm −1 ) larger pores and increased surface roughness, resulting in light scattering losses. [28][29][30] Furthermore, the AFM images in Fig. S3 † reveal that the surface roughness of the AR film increases gradually with higher pH values.…”

“…This is attributed to the increased light absorption with increasing film thickness, resulting in a red-shift phenomenon. 29 According to the Fresnel reflection principle, the reflection (R) of the monolayer film can be presented by formula (4) when the incident sunlight falls perpendicularly: [36][37][38]…”

“…While the IR spectra presented above provide information on the local structure of silicate coatings the question is raised to determine how the local densification of the silicate coating after washing/annealing impacts the structure of the film at a larger scale, for example, regarding the concomitant formation some porosity. 25,26 The films were characterized by ellipsometry for their thickness and refractive index. Results for as-deposited, water-washed and then annealed samples are presented in Figure 6C.…”

Alkaline silicates are well-known soluble silica derivatives already widely used for industrial purposes. Nevertheless, their applications for the elaboration of functional optical coatings have largely been discarded by the sol-gel community who mainly focused on alkoxide precursors. The objective of this work is to reconsider the alkaline silicates sol-gel chemistry, targeting optical coatings of a few hundreds of nanometers. The structures of Li + , Na + , and K + silicate coatings are discussed on the basis of spectroscopic characterizations. We show that a simple washing process allows a postdeposition removal of most alkaline ions, thus preventing the efflorescence effect and improving the aqueous stability of the films. Finally, several examples are shown for the application of alkaline silicates in the elaboration of functional optical coatings following conventional sol-gel chemistry.

“…In this study try to give the solution to the problem by making an anti-reflection layer on the ITO glass in order to increase light transmittance, when applied as a work electrode in DSSC. The anti-reflection layer has also been applied to solar cells to increase light transmission on the surface of solar panels [20,21]. The material used in this study as an anti-reflection layer is polystyrene (PS) and Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) using the spin coating method.…”

Thin films are developed for multi-purposes, such as optical waveguides, corrosion resistant coating, car tinting, and glass coatings. Each thin film is created and designed with a specific purpose and function. The purpose of this research was to fabrication anti-reflective films on glass Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) usually used as an electrode in Dye-sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC). In this research, the material used involved solution 100.12 g/mol Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) and 3% Polystyrene(PS) with a spin coating method. In this study, polystyrene and methyl methacrylate solution dripped on ITO glass was then rotated at 1000, 1500, 2000 and 2500 rpm. This study shows that polystyrene and methyl methacrylate materials can be used as an anti-reflection coating on the ITO substrate by a spin coating method. The methyl methacrylate material is good for anti-reflection coating at 400-475 nm wavelength region, while the polystyrene material is good for 475-700 nm wavelength. The addition of a 3% polystyrene coating on ITO glass can increase light transmission at a wavelength of 475-700 nm by 1.14% when compared to ITO glass without a polystyrene coating. The highest light transmission of 90.11% occurs at a wavelength of 420 nm when the ITO glass is coated with methyl methacrylate.
