The invention relates to an anti-reflection
coating and a super-hydrophobic self-cleaning anti-reflection
coating and a preparation method thereof. The anti-reflection
coating is formed by a SiO2 ball-shaped
nanoparticle layer with the particle size of 10-100 nm, and the surface of the coating has a rough structure. The super-hydrophobic self-cleaning anti-reflection coating is formed by providing a low
surface energy substance on the surface of the anti-reflection coating, and the surface of the low
surface energy substance has a rough structure. The coatings are obtained by using layer-by-layer electrostatic self-
assembly technique. The light
transmittance of the glass coated with the super-hydrophobic self-cleaning anti-reflection coating can increase to 99.1 from 91.3%, and the single-side
reflectivity of the glass can reduce lowest to 0.3%. Compared with a
solar cell coated with a common glass flake, a standard mono-
silicon solar cell panel coated with a glass with the super-hydrophobic self-cleaning anti-reflection coating can utilize
solar energy more effectively, and the efficiency can be improved to more than 6.6%.
