The increasing demand for improving the performance of optical devices and the development of nanotechnology have driven research on diffusion films. The preparation of diffusion films with well-defined microstructures can achieve uniform diffusion and scattering of light, thereby improving the efficiency and performance of optical devices. In this study, diffusion films with high transmittance and haze were prepared using PMMA@TiO2@SiO2 (P@T@S) composite microspheres, and the PMMA microspheres and nanoparticles were combined through electrostatic attraction. As compared with PMMA microspheres, the P@T@S composite microspheres displayed better heat resistance as well as swelling resistance. Optical performance data showed that the P@T@S diffusion film had the perfect optical performance with a transmittance up to 90.5% and a haze of 88.3%. The excellent light diffusion effect of the P@T@S diffusion film was experimentally demonstrated, with the light through the film not only displaying the largest area but also maintaining a relatively high brightness. Our findings can provide reference and guidance for further development of light diffusion films, which are of potential application in optoelectronic devices.

Optical antiglare films with high light transmittance and high haze are capable of mitigating the adverse effects of glare on eyes and offering a healthy visual experience. However, the haze increase is always accompanied with the severe loss of the light transmittance, posing a considerable challenge to simultaneously achieving high transmittance and high haze. In this work, a polyvinylbutyral (PVB) nanofibers-based polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film featuring of matched refractive indices, loosely fiber stacked density in PDMS, and appropriate fiber diameter close to the visible light wavelength, was prepared with exceptional antiglare property. Subsequently, it was further air sprayed with a hydrophobic F17@SiO 2 coating to endow the P-PVB/F17@SiO 2 composite film superhydrophobicity and self-cleaning with the water contact angle reaching 170.4°, expanding its practical applications. By employing a trimodal light regulation strategy, including Rayleigh scattering of nanoparticles, light reflection induced by micro-tunnels, and Mie scattering caused by nanofibers, the P-PVB/F17@SiO 2 film demonstrated an excellent transmittance of 90.73% and an admirable haze of 94.5%. Therefore, based on the straightforward, large-scale, cost-effective manufacturing, this work proposes a reliable way to achieve optical antiglare film with effective light regulation, which shows a great potential for applications in smart mobility, intelligent buildings, and flexible electronics, etc.

Translucent materials are widely used in indoor lighting, electronic display devices, photovoltaic devices, and other aspects of daily life. Developing materials with high transparency that can effectively manage the transmitted light spectrum is of significant practical importance. This study focuses on constructing a flexible composite film matrix using biomass nanocellulose fibrils (CNF) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as raw materials. Based on the down-conversion luminescence principle, we use carbon nitride nanosheets (CNNs) as the core for light management, filtering UV rays from sunlight while converting them into visible light for light compensation. The transparency test results show that the prepared CNNs@CNF/PVA flexible composite film has a total transmittance of about 90% in the visible light range, with a haze greater than 60%. Three-dimensional fluorescence test results indicate that CNNs@CNF/PVA can convert UV light in the range of 250–375 nm into visible light in the range of 420–550 nm. Simulated outdoor lighting results show that the composite film material performs better than ordinary glass and PMMA in light transmission. This biomass-based flexible film material is expected to have broad applications in indoor lighting, flexible photovoltaic devices, and high-quality fruit and vegetable cultivation.

In recent years, optical diffusion film materials with high transmittance and high haze have been widely reported, while there is relatively rare research on their functionalization and practical application especially in real scenario. In this work, optical diffusion films using polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)@TiO 2 @SiO 2 (P@T@S) composite microspheres were fabricated, which exhibited sufficiently high light transmittance and haze. The binding mode of PMMA microspheres and nanoparticles suggested that PMMA microspheres with a positive surface potential combined with nanoparticles with a negative surface potential through electrostatic attraction to achieve mutual binding. The prepared P@T@S composite microspheres showed better heat and swelling resistance than those of PMMA microspheres. The P@T@S diffusion film, whose excellent light diffusion effect was clearly demonstrated, exhibited the best optical performance among all optical diffusion films prepared. After passing through the P@T@S diffusion film, the laser light was not only uniform but also bright. The findings from this work can provide some insight into further research on optical diffusion films applied in optoelectronic device areas.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have become a promising solar energy utilization technology due to their high energy conversion efficiency and low preparation cost. However, the inherent instability under UV illumination limits their practical applications. In this work, we developed a new approach to fabricate functional cellulose paper (FTH paper) with high transparency, high haze, and UV-blocking, which can be used to extend the lifespan of PSCs. When the impregnation amounts of carboxymethyl cellulose and tannic acid were 16 wt% and 0.7 wt%, the light transmittance and UV-blocking performance reached 86.8% (at 600 nm) and 83.1% (at 320 nm), respectively, while maintaining a haze of 71.5%. After protonation and desalination treatment, the FTH paper exhibited good water resistance and mechanical properties (71.49 MPa, 2156 folding cycles). More importantly, FTH paper coating can significantly improve optical path length and the UV-stability (improved by 26% after 100 h) of PSCs. This study not only provides a simple and effective strategy to improve the properties of PSCs but also opens the way for high-value utilization of paper materials.

A facile “surface tension controlling” method is proposed for the preparation of nonspherical fluorinated acrylate polymer particles (FANPPs) with four different morphologies by adjusting the compositions of polystyrene (PS) cores and monomers in shell layers. The FANPPs are fabricated through an inexpensive and template-free emulsion polymerization process that allows control of their morphologies. Scanning electronic microscopy, the Wilhelmy plate method, and differential scanning calorimetry are applied to investigate the structures and properties of the FANPPs. The formation mechanism of these unique morphologies is rationalized in terms of a selective wetting process, whereby surface tension and incompatibility between the PS cores and fluorinated shell layers are modified. These novel nanoparticles are first applied to fabricate light-diffusing films that show both high transmittance and high haze value. The light-diffusing properties are tested by means of a haze meter. The nonspherical structure of the FANPPs greatly influences their light-diffusing properties.

Our transparent cellulose nanofibrils composites (TCNC) directly from rotary-cutting poplar veneer (RPV) whose lignin can be easily stripped by our treatment. This TCNC is prepared by stripping lignin of original RPV and infiltrating epoxy resin (ER) into delignified RPV. This TCNC with two-layer delignified RPVs whose grains perpendicular (0/90°) to each other, which were solidified on solar cell while infiltrating ER. This TCNC with high transmittance (~90%), high haze (~90%), and equal refractive index fluctuation. Comparing with epoxy resin (ER), this TCNC can enhance open circuit voltage (VOC) from 1.16 to ~1.36 and short circuit density (JSC) from 30 to ~34 for the solar cell, and can enhance test fore from 0.155 kN to ~0.185 kN and displacement from 43.6 mm to ~52.5 mm.
