4 FAQs about Alumina for solar glass

Can aluminium oxide nanoflakes be used as cover glass for solar panels?

In brief, fabricated porous interconnected network of aluminium oxide nanoflakes holds a great promise as cover glass for solar panels with anti-reflective and self-cleaning superhydrophobic characteristics. 4. Conclusions

Is alumina a glass former?

Mixing of alumina with other substances, such as e.g. CaO or SiO 2, substantially facilitates the formation of the glassy phase [15, 16]. According to Hashimoto et al. pure alumina is not a glass former in melt-quenching . CaO or SiO 2, substantially facilitates the formation of the glassy phase [15,16].

Can self-cleaning solar panel cover glass be used for self- cleaning?

Further, the prepared coating with average optical transmittance and self-cleaning superhydrophobic nature recovered the efficiency of the dust contaminated solar cell by more than 90% after being cleaned with water. These results suggested that the fabricated coating will be effectively used for self-cleaning solar panel cover glass applications.
