In the last decades, many drastic efforts have been undertaken to attain solar selective
absorber coatings with high thermal stability and performance for better solar energy …

To create materials that are composites or hybrids structured on the nanometer scale or the
meso‐domain, respectively, is one of the major tasks in modern materials science. In this …

In terms of both high photo-thermal efficiency and high stability, multi-layer structures based
on metal-dielectric composites (cermet) can be considered the most attractive selective solar …

New cermet film structures suitable for selective solar absorbers, composed of two cermet
sublayers with identical metal volume fractions in each sublayer, on metal reflectors with an …

A new cermet film structure of solar thermal absorber is presented. The typical film is similar
to that of the single cermet layer case, except the single cermet layer is replaced by two …

Here we report the preparation of Ni–Al2O3 absorbing coatings by a facile aqueous solution-
chemical method. In this approach, aluminum nitrate and nickel nitrate were simply mixed in …

A novel one-step sol–gel method to fabricate spectrally selective solar absorber film has
been developed. The selectively absorbing film consists of Ag nano-particles grow in a …

Abstract Spectrally selective Ni-Al 2 O 3 composite films were prepared by rf planar
magnetron sputtering using hot-pressed targets of two different compositions. The …

Due to its potential use as selective surface in solar thermal absorbers, cobalt has been
electrodeposited into porous alumina obtained by anodization of aluminum sheet. A 3 2 …

Two systems of solar selective absorber surfaces based on metal/dielectric multilayers were
examined. Al 2 O 3/Pt and M 2 O 3/MoSi 2 multilayer films were optimized by computer …
