Abstract

Nanostructured cuprous iodide (CuI) thin films obtained via cheap, affordable, and suitable for mass production aqueous method Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) on flexible biodegradable nanocellulose (NC) substrates proposed as new materials for a protection against terrestrial ultraviolet (UV) part of solar spectrum. The SILAR modes for a manufacturing of UV-shields optimized via studying the structure, composition, surface morphology, and optical properties of CuI. In accordance with an international standard ISO 2443:2012(E), UV-protection ability of the CuI films on NC substrates fits the category “excellent” with sun protection factors up to 9211 for the most fine-grained CuI film.
