Abstract
Ultrahigh haze nanosheet glass with three-dimensional nanostructure was fabricated using a simple hydrothermal method in concentrated hydrochloric acid solution at elevated temperatures. After 2 hours of hydrothermal treatment, the total transmission of the nanosheet glass decreased to less than 35%, with a haze value exceeding 95%. When the sample was wetted with water, the total transmission increased to 85%, while the haze value decreased to 32%. A mechanism was proposed to explain the formation of the three-dimensional nanostructure. Furthermore, we demonstrated a switchable-haze smart window model based on the nanosheet glass. These findings suggest potential applications in underwater optics, such as underwater cameras and diving goggles.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids publishes review articles, research papers, and Letters to the Editor on amorphous and glassy materials, including inorganic, organic, polymeric, hybrid and metallic systems. Papers on partially glassy materials, such as glass-ceramics and glass-matrix composites, and papers involving the liquid state are also included in so far as the properties of the liquid are relevant for the formation of the solid.
In all cases the papers must demonstrate both novelty and importance to the field, by way of significant advances in understanding or application of non-crystalline solids; in the case of Letters, a compelling case must also be made for expedited handling.
