20090101209 | Method of making an antireflective silica coating, resulting product, and photovoltaic device comprising same - A low-index silica coating may be made by forming silica sol including a silane and/or a colloidal silica. The silica precursor may be deposited on a substrate (e.g., glass substrate) to form a coating layer.
