In the present work, the preparation of SiO 2 -CeO 2 coatings by sol-gel dip coating technique was carried out. The parameters, such as different H 2 O to TEOS and SiO 2 to CeO 2 ratios, viscosity of alkoxide solution, different withdrawal speed, affecting the film properties were studied. Transmittance, film thickness were determined as a function of the experimental parameters and SEM micrographs of the coated glass substrate were given.
