Rational design and easy fabrication of transparent photothermal/hygroscopic composite coatings with long-lasting antifogging performance under sunlight activation

Abstract

75% in the visible light region, making them well suited for a diverse range of transparent substrate and device applications. A clear field of view can be maintained for at least 6 h under 1 sun illumination above 65 °C hot steam. The antifogging/defogging performance is effectively demonstrated even under challenging non-ideal natural conditions, such as low solar irradiation during dusk or when placed indoors behind windows.
