Base-catalyzed synthesis of superhydrophobic and antireflective films for enhanced photoelectronic applications

In this work, a facile, cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach is developed to synthesize transparent silica sol for fabricating antireflective (AR) and superhydrophobic (SH) films on soda–lime glass. The transparent silica sol is prepared at room temperature by modification of hexamet...
