However, limited understanding of anti-soiling mechanisms and uncertainty in their durability has limited their deployment. Porous coatings This review looks are anticipated to discourage soiling because their rough surfaces reduce the strength and probability of dirt-to-coating bonds.

Nanostructured coatings with tailored surface roughness can reduce the rate of soil accumulation and maintain the high optical performance of the solar mirrors and cover glass. Here, we investigate the correlation between the size and structure of the surface features of the coating and its anti-soiling and optical properties.
