Self-cleaning properties have received significant attention for the importance of their potential. Coatings at Nano-scales offer possibilities of using materials for self-cleaning surfaces. Recent efforts have begun to focus on the kinds of materials including metals, semiconductors and polymers. Such materials can have enormous potential in only a few applications. Moreover, the production of these materials requires high costs with low photo activity. In this regard, TiO 2 and its derived materials have shown acceptable and effective suggestions for this application. Moreover, the mechanism of self-cleaning has been explained by the effect of hydrophilic and hydrophobic. Hydrophilic and hydrophobic can have many applications in different areas like water purification, microfluidics and photovoltaic. In this review, the application of self-cleaning in solar cells and environment as well as TiO 2 derived materials and their applications in water management have been briefly illustrated. In addition, it has been explained that a huge number of self-cleaning materials, applications and improvement in utilities have been essential. In short, we have conducted a comprehensive review of the new approach and to mention numerous materials with hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties would be promising for most environmental concerns. Bio-inspired surface respond in nature through hydrophobic (Cicada Wing, Butterfly Wing, Lotus Leaf, Rice Leaf) and hydrophilic (Fish Scale, Snail Shell, Shark Skin) properties was divided in 4 and 3 respectively. Anti reflective coatings with self-cleaning properties have drowned considerable attention for both their basic appearances and vast applied usages. Antireflective coatings with self-cleaning properties have been considered because of their fascinating features and vast diversity of empirical uses.

“…However, the wide band gap is 3.2 eV, and thus, only UV light can activate the TiO 2 NPs. Substantial research has been dedicated to the utilization of solar energy, [22][23][24] such as surface modication of NPs and doping with other elements. In our previous work, we prepared conjugation-graed-TiO 2 hybrid NPs to achieve high photocatalytic efficiency under visible light by modifying Degussa P25 with partially degraded polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).…”

a Self-cleaning fabrics decorated with titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) nanoparticles (NPs) have garnered worldwide attention due to their outstanding ultraviolet (UV) light-shielding, anti-bacterial properties and other characteristics. Numerous techniques to construct super-antiwetting surfaces have been investigated for both fundamental research and practical application. A facile and eco-friendly way by a combination of UV irradiation and ultrasonic bath method has been developed to prepare a novel self-cleaning hybrid polyamine 6/nano TiO 2 (PA6/nano TiO 2 ) fabric with superhydrophobic and durable photocatalytic properties. To evaluate the fabric's reusability, hybrid PA6/nano TiO 2 fabrics were subjected to five consecutive cycles of the photocatalytic degradation of the methyl orange (MO) dye. The results indicated that TiO 2 NPs were firmly fixed on the fiber surface. The UV-blocking and anti-microbial properties of these hybrid fabrics were also tested. For PA6 immobilized by commercial nano TiO 2 -P25 (P25-PA6) and PA6 immobilized by prepared visible-light photocatalyst PVA D -TiO 2 (PVA D -PA6) fabrics, the UV protection factors (UPFs) of the samples were 56 and 1123, respectively. The anti-microbial efficacies of the two samples were both 99%. The water contact angles were 151.7 and 154.6 , respectively, indicating surface superhydrophobicity. These results showed that this novel fabric has great potential for indoor environmental purification and outdoor protection applications.
