“…The approach of fabricating AR films splits into two broad categories i-Bottom up and ii-Top down approach. The bottom up fabrication includes methods such as sol-gel processing [55][56][57][58] , chemical vapour deposition (CVD) techniques [59][60][61] , magnetron e-ISSN: 2321-6212 p-ISSN: 2347-2278 sputtering [52,62] , plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition [63][64][65] or physical vapour deposition (PVD) techniques [66,67] . The top down approach is limited to wet and dry etching methods.…”

“…Zhang et al [79] have demonstrated to fabricate PAA/PDDAsilicate multilayer films in the visible wavelength region with a light transmittance of 99.86% on a quartz substrate by a layer-by-layer (LBL) technique. However, few AR coatings had limitations and restricted to the spectral range of certain wavelength and the effect of light incidence angle influences the transmittance properties [80][81][82] .…”

Antireflective coatings (AR) are widely applied to eliminate the unwanted surface reflections from the AR coated substrate. In different optoelectronic devices, AR coatings have potential usage in photovoltaic solar cells, sensors, display devices, automobile industries to reduce reflectance, glare and enhance light transmittance. Natural phenomenon inspires researchers, and they generate bionic AR coatings copying the nature such as moth eyes, or cicada wings to fabricate efficient light harvesting AR coatings. In the current review article, we analyse and evaluate critically the progress and recent development in the fabrication of AR thin films comprising organic coatings, inorganic coatings, polymer AR coatings and bionic AR coatings. We predominantly emphasise the AR coatings fabrication by different methods and pinpoints the technological challenges in their real-world reliability. Finally, we address the future challenges and potential strategies for their upcoming prospect.
