By far, the Parabolic trough collector (PTC) is the most established solar concentrating
technology worldwide. This paper draws a comparison among various studies done earlier …

Solar selective absorbing coatings directly harvest solar energy in the form of heat. The
higher temperatures are required to drive higher power-cycle efficiencies in favor of lower …

The conversion of carbon dioxide into value-added products is of great industrial and
environmental interest. However, as carbon dioxide is relatively stable, the input energy …

This study reports the synthesis of mesoporous nano-fibrillar alumina prepared by hydrolysis-
precipitation route. It was done from aqueous solution of aluminum sulfate analytical reagent …

Cost-effective and eco-friendly Cr 2 O 3 spectrally selective solar absorber nanocoatings
prepared by an entirely green process on polished Copper (Cu) substrate is presented. The …

Mesoporous γ-Al 2 O 3 with high specific surface area is prepared via calcination of NH 4 Al
(OH) 2 CO 3 (AACH). The AACH is obtained by coprecipitation route with NH 4 HCO 3 and …

To prepare high performance Pt–Al 2 O 3 double cermet selective solar absorber coatings, a
computer simulation programme has been used to calculate the appropriate complex …

A high-temperature air-stable solar selective absorber (SSA) based on TiW–SiO2 cermet is
prepared by the co-sputtering method. The obtained SSA shows remarkable stability in …

NiCrAlO/Al 2 O 3 solar selective coating prepared by direct current (DC) magnetron
sputtering and water boiling is demonstrated in this paper. Firstly, the coating consisting of …

Herein, spectrally selective single-layered CuO nanocoatings were successfully
demonstrated via green synthesis and deposited on stainless steel (SS) substrates using a …
