Because polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with high dissociation energies are relatively stable hydrophobic materials against photocatalytic activity, they have been applied to achieve liquid repellency on metal oxide photocatalysts (MOPCs). One approach used to fabricate liquid‐repellent surfaces on MOPCs is to mix PDMS or PTFE with MOPC nanoparticles. For more information on how liquid‐repellent surfaces can be formed on MOPCs, see the Concept article by S. Wooh et al. on page 4535 ff.
