Abstract
Self-cleaning property is one of the properties required to glass for windows in buildings. Adherence of dirt reduces the transparency, losing the fine sight remarkably. With the help of natural power of sunlight and rain, the photocatalyst can display the self-cleaning action by decomposing and removing organic matters, based on the super-hydrophilic phenomenon. It is called photocatalytic cleaning (self-cleaning) action. This chapter describes the coating method, the evaluation technique, and the self-cleaning performance of the photocatalytic cleaning glass (self-cleaning glass) commercially produced by the sol–gel technology.
