“…The external surface of high-silicon zeolites (i.e., crystalline microporous aluminosilicates) is composed of densely ordered silanol groups, − which make them ideal for antifog coatings. Despite being broadly used for catalysis, − adsorption, , membranes for molecular separations − and membrane reactors, − thin films for electronic devices, − gas detection, , anticorrosion, − antireflection, and photocatalysis, there are only few reports on using zeolites as antifog coating. ,, The key limitation is the deposition method of zeolites on glass substrates. The well-developed methods used in the fabrication of zeolite films or membranes include in situ growth, ,, seeded growth, , dip coating, , and dry-gel conversion. , Note that these methods require exposing substrates to a high-pH environment (i.e., the synthesis solution with structure-directing agents) for hours to form a zeolite layer.…”
