After ordinary cloud pumice gold plated, people began to think about whether its surface can have a self-cleaning function. Theoretically, it is possible.
On the one hand, the characteristics of the gold-plated layer itself may provide a certain basis for the self-cleaning function. Gold is a metal with relatively stable chemical properties and is not easy to react with most substances. If the gold-plating process can be specially treated to make the gold-plated surface have super-hydrophobic or super-hydrophilic properties, it is possible to achieve self-cleaning. For example, a micro-nano structure is constructed on the gold-plated surface through nanotechnology to make it appear super-hydrophobic. When water drops on such a surface, it will form a ball shape and roll off easily, taking away dust and dirt on the surface.
On the other hand, some substances with special properties can be added during the gold-plating process. For example, photocatalytic materials are added. When exposed to light of a specific wavelength, these materials can produce redox reactions and decompose organic pollutants on the surface, thereby achieving a self-cleaning effect. Common photocatalytic materials include titanium dioxide, which can produce strong oxidizing free radicals under light and decompose organic matter into carbon dioxide and water.
In addition, the self-cleaning function can also be achieved through surface coating technology. A special self-cleaning coating is applied to the surface of the gold-plated cloud pumice, which can be well combined with the gold-plated layer and has anti-fouling and waterproof properties. This coating can be fixed on the surface by chemical bonding or physical adsorption to provide a lasting self-cleaning effect.
However, it is not easy to achieve the self-cleaning function of the surface of Ordinary cloud pumice gold plated, and multiple factors need to be considered comprehensively. Including the stability of the gold plating process, the compatibility of the added substances, and the cost-effectiveness. At the same time, a lot of experiments and research are needed to determine the best implementation plan. But with the continuous advancement of science and technology, I believe that in the future, it is entirely possible for Ordinary cloud pumice gold plated to have a self-cleaning function.
