Solar panels can’t operate efficiently if they’re caked in dirt, but cleaning them regularly can be a time-consuming process. Engineers in Germany have now developed an ultra-thin coating that can ...

Scientists from the Madison Area Technical College in the United States have tested superhydrophobic self-cleaning, anti-soiling coatings that, if applied to photovoltaic modules, can purportedly ...

Scientists in Egypt have created an anti-soiling coating for solar panels by mixing ethanol, deionized water, ammonium hydroxide and tetraethyl orthosilicate. They tested a coated panel outdoors for ...

Graphene, an allotrope of carbon, has a layered structure of carbon rings formed in a hexagonal lattice structure. This arrangement of carbon in two-dimension gives properties such as high thermal ...
