1. A method of forming a porous coating on a substrate, comprising:
coating a substrate with a sol-formulation comprising:
an alkyltrialkoxysilane-based binder having the formula: wherein at least one of R1, R2, and R3 represents an alkyl group containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of n-pentyl, isopentyl, n-hexyl, isohexyl, cyclohexyl, n-heptyl, methoylcyclohexyl, octyl, and ethylcyclohexyl or an aryl group containing 6 to 20 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of benzyl and xylyl;wherein R4 represents a fluoro-modified alkyl group containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms; andsilica based nanoparticles, wherein a mass ratio of the alkyltrialkoxysilane-based binder to the silica based nanoparticles is between 0.1:1 to 20:1;wherein the sol-formulation further comprises an alcohol containing solvent and an acid or base containing catalyst;wherein the sol-formulation further comprises rare-earth-based oxide nanoparticles, the rare-earth-based oxide nanoparticles comprising at least one of Y2TeO11, Y2Te5O13, YInGe2O2:Eu3+, yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) doped with Eu3+ ions, La(1−x)EuxMn0-9Zn0-1O3+d (LEMZ), Y2O3:Eu3+, or a combination thereof; and annealing the coated substrate. |
