Photovoltaic glass, also known as solar glass or transparent solar panels, is a type of smart glass that uses embedded photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into electricity to generate electricity.
This article provides a systematic review of the research progress in self-cleaning technologies for glass surfaces. It analyzes and summarizes the applicability of self-cleaning effects induced by special properties such as photocatalysis, superhydrophobicity, superhydrophilicity, and omniphobicity on glass surfaces.
The application of self-cleaning glass surfaces is summarized in Table 1. Superhydrophobicity and superamphiphobicity rely on their unique wetting characteristics to prevent the adhesion of water-based and oil-based pollutants, significantly enhancing the self-cleaning performance of the surface.
According to reports, Germany was the first country to use transparent flat glass as a substrate for developing solar cells. German scientists installed these plate-shaped solar cells as window glass on buildings. They could directly supply the captured electrical energy to occupants and feed excess electricity into the grid.
