Alumina solar glass

Can alumina (Al 2 O 3) glass be fabricated?

The fabrication of novel oxide glass is a challenging topic in glass science. Alumina (Al 2 O 3) glass cannot be fabricated by a conventional melt–quenching method, since Al 2 O 3 is not a glass former. We found that amorphous Al 2 O 3 synthesized by the electrochemical anodization of aluminum metal shows a glass transition.

Can aluminium oxide nanoflakes be used as cover glass for solar panels?

In brief, fabricated porous interconnected network of aluminium oxide nanoflakes holds a great promise as cover glass for solar panels with anti-reflective and self-cleaning superhydrophobic characteristics. 4. Conclusions

Is alumina an intermediate?

Alumina (Al 2 O 3) can be considered as an intermediate, because it can be both a glass former and a glass modifier in binary oxide glasses, although Al 2 O 3 cannot solely form glass. Al 2 O 3 has many applications, e.g., in cements, substrates of electronic materials, and high-temperature crucibles.
