The present invention relates to a process for preparing a thin film on a substrate comprising the steps of preparing two precursor compositions comprising metalloid compounds and combining them thereafter whereby one precursor composition is hydrolyzed prior to combination. The present invention is further related to a multilayer structure and an article comprising the thin film obtainable by the process, a composition comprising the precursor compositions, a kit-of-parts comprising the precursor compositions and the use of the composition and the kit-of-parts for preparing a thin film on a substrate.

The present invention provides a glass article including a photocatalyst film 1 containing silicon oxide particles 6 and titanium oxide particles 5, and a glass sheet 2. Assuming that the photocatalyst film 1 has a film thickness T, 80% or more of the titanium oxide particles are localized in a region between a surface of the glass sheet 2 and a position spaced from the surface by 0.6 T toward a surface of the photocatalyst film 1 in a thickness direction of the photocatalyst film 1. The glass article has an increased transmittance provided by enhancing the reflection-reducing function of the photocatalyst film 1 while maintaining the film strength and photocatalytic function of the photocatalyst film 1.

A bias-free driven ion-based photoelectrochemical wastewater treatment system and method is disclosed. Through an ion-coupled photogenerated electron-assisted photocatalytic oxidation-reduction pathway, the system achieves efficient treatment of high-salinity wastewater. The system employs electron-ion receptor materials as the counter electrode, providing reaction sites to drive the coupling of photogenerated electrons and cation transfer. Additionally, the voltage generated by the system directly drives hole oxidation to produce strong oxidizing free radicals. Furthermore, this ion-based photoelectrochemical system demonstrates excellent degradation performance in high-concentration chloride media. This indicates that, in addition to cations (such as Na+) helping to accelerate the electron transfer rate, the presence of Cl further enables efficient and sustainable wastewater treatment. The concept proposed in this invention emphasizes the potential for using abundant sodium chloride in seawater as an inexpensive additive for wastewater treatment.

A content of graphene oxide in the graphene oxide-ceramic hybrid coating layer is about 0.002 to about 3.0 wt % based on the total weight of the graphene oxide-ceramic hybrid coating layer.

A method of forming a titania-coated inorganic particle comprising the steps of: (a) agitating a mixture of inorganic particle and organic solvent; (b) adding titania precursor dropwise into the mixture of step (a) under agitation; and (c) adding catalyst to the mixture of step (b) thereby converting said titania precursor to titania which then forms a coating on said inorganic particle; wherein steps (a) to (c) are performed at neutral pH and ambient temperature.

The present invention provides scalable, solution based processes for manufacturing electrochromic materials comprising metal oxide films for use in electrochromic devices. The electrochromic material comprises a transparent conductive substrate coated with an electrochromic metal oxide film, wherein the metal oxide film is formed by a process comprising the steps of: a) providing the conductive substrate; b) coating the substrate with a solution of one or more metal precursors; and c) exposing the coated substrate to near-infrared radiation, UV radiation and/or ozone in an aerobic atmosphere. The present invention also provides electrochromic devices incorporating these electrochromic materials.

A process for the preparation of an antimicrobial coating solution includes the steps of: (i) mixing a chelating agent with titanium alkoxide and fluoroacetic acid; and (ii) adding an aqueous solution to the mixture from step (i). The antimicrobial coating is visible light activated and can be applied to surfaces and optionally heat treated to form a transparent layer on the surface.

A method, system, apparatus, and/or device for adjusting or removing frames in a set of frames. The method, system, apparatus, and/or device may include: associating a first frame of a set of frames with motion data that is captured approximately contemporaneously with the first frame; when a sampling rate of the motion data is greater than a frame rate of the set of frames, aggregating a first sample of the motion data captured at the first frame and a second sample of the motion data captured between the first frame and a second frame of the set of frames to obtain a movement value; when the movement value does not exceed a first threshold value, accepting the first frame from the set of frames; and when the movement value exceeds the first threshold value, rejecting the first frame from the set of frames.
