A glass container has a container main body made of glass and a coating film formed on a surface of the container main body. The coating film is made of tin oxide or titanium oxide, and the film thickness of the coating film ranges from 40 nm to 50 nm. In the depth profile obtained by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, an atomic percentage of sodium at a point where a tin or titanium profile intersects a silicon profile is 2% or less.

Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to coated articles including noble metal (e.g., Ag) and polymeric hydrogenated diamond like carbon (DLC) (e.g., a-C:H, a-C:H:O) composite material having antibacterial and photocatalytic properties, and/or methods of making the same. A glass substrate supports a buffer layer, a matrix comprising the noble metal and DLC, a proton-conducting layer that may comprising zirconium oxide in certain example embodiments, and a layer comprising titanium oxide. The layer comprising titanium oxide may be photocatalytic and optionally may further include carbon and/or nitrogen. The proton-conducting layer may facilitate the creation of electron-hole pairs and, in turn, promote the antibacterial properties of the coated article. The morphology of the layer comprising titanium oxide and/or channels formed therein may enable Ag ions produced from matrix to migrate therethrough.

A photocatalytic functional film has a structure of a substrate, a barrier layer and a photocatalytic layer stacked one on another. The barrier layer is a SiO.sub.2 film, the photocatalyst layer comprises an amorphous TiO.sub.2 film, and particles of visible light responsive photocatalytic material formed on the surface of the amorphous TiO.sub.2 film. A method for producing a photocatalytic functional film includes: adding an alcohol solvent and an acid to a silicate precursor to obtain a SiO.sub.2 sol by dehydration and de-alcoholization reaction; applying and drying the SiO.sub.2 sol on a substrate to form a barrier layer; adding an alcohol solvent and an acid to a titanium precursor to obtain a TiO.sub.2 amorphous sol by dehydration and de-alcoholization reaction; and applying and drying a composition formed by mixing particles of visible light responsive photocatalyst material with the TiO.sub.2 amorphous sol on the barrier layer, to form a photocatalyst layer.

A glazing includes a first substrate and a heatable coating formed on the first substrate, the heatable coating includes at least one heatable layer and at least one deletion, and multiple busbars for supplying power to the heatable coating are positioned on the heatable coating remote from the at least one deletion.

Embodiments described herein generally relate to articles and methods for containing compositions comprising hydrogen gas. In some embodiments, the article comprises a container that comprises glass. In some cases, the container may further comprise TiO.sub.2, which may be embedded within the glass, coated on the glass, etc. The container further may contain a composition within the container. In some cases, the composition may comprise dissolved hydrogen gas. Such compositions may be useful, for example, for the treatment of animal and human diseases, for improvement in athletic performance, for the enhancement of the overall health of a subject, or the like.

A provided cover glass for a solar cell panel has excellent transparency, and minimal incidence so-called glass surface turbidity due to reactions with components contained in a glass substrate. The cover glass for the solar cell panel comprises: the glass substrate including a surface; and a transparent protective film containing zinc telluride for coating the surface. Particularly, in the cover glass for the solar cell panel, the transparent protective film is preferably formed by bonding the zinc telluride with silica binders. Such a transparent protective film has excellent transparency, and reactions of the contained zinc telluride inhibit the surface of the glass substrate, which is a base of the solar cell, from becoming turbid.

An infrared sudation device includes a support element (1) extending along a longitudinal axis (X) and a cover element (2a, 2b) of semicylindrical shape mounted on the support element (1) so as to delimit an internal volume extending in the longitudinal direction between the support element and the internal surface of the cover element. The internal surface of the cover element is covered at least in part with a heating layer (3a, 3b) able to emit far-infrared radiation in at least part of the internal volume. The infrared sudation device includes a housing of photocatalyst (4), permeable to the infrared radiation emitted, supporting a photocatalyst (5) and arranged in proximity to the internal face of the heating layer (3a, 3b) so as to allow the photocatalyst to be activated using the energy supplied by the infrared radiation emitted.
