Hydrophobic antireflective coatings with a low refractive index were prepared via a
base/acid-catalyzed two-step sol–gel process using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and …

This study presents the manufacturing process of bioinspired compound (BIC) eyes. The
hierarchical eyes were accomplished by a combination of (i) modified laser swelling,(ii) air …

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)–silica ORMOSIL (organically modified silicate) sols were
prepared by a one-pot sol–gel process using tetraethyl orthosilicate as an inorganic …

Thick silica antireflective (AR) coatings with controlled thickness and durable AR
performance were prepared by a base-catalyzed sol− gel process using tetraethyl …

Multifunctional silica coatings find diverse applications in solar energy conversion and
pollution monitoring sensors due to their suitability for mass manufacturing. However, the …

Close-packed Ag pyramidal arrays have been fabricated by using inverted pyramidal pits on
Si as a template and used to generate plentiful and homogeneous surface-enhanced …

A two step method, with a combination of top-down and bottom-up approaches, was
developed for the fabrication of ZnO based hierarchical structures with nanorods on …

Silica antireflective coatings on solar glass are known to increase the current output by a few
percent, but poor hydrophobicity will hamper the performance of the coatings. Coatings with …

Silica coatings with continuously adjustable refractive indices and wettability properties were
prepared through a sol–gel base-catalyzed process. Adjustment of the molar ratio of water …

Herein, we report a facile approach for rapid and maskless production of subwavelength
structured antireflective surfaces with high and broadband transmittance—direct laser …
