M. G. Tsegay et al.

Summary: This study presents the cost-effective and eco-friendly fabrication of Cr2O3 nanocoatings with spectral selectivity for solar absorber applications. The nanocoatings were prepared by drop and spin coatings on polished Copper substrate using green synthesized Cr(2)O3. The nanocoatings exhibited a columnar growth with a specific crystal phase, and their optical properties showed high solar absorptance and low thermal emittance, making them suitable for spectrally selective solar absorber applications.

Highly efficient and durable solar thermal energy harvesting via scalable hierarchical coatings inspired by stony corals

Juan F. Torres et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the macro-scale morphology plays a crucial role in enhancing optical resilience and light trapping, which is often overlooked in state-of-the-art coatings. Inspired by stony-coral morphology, the researchers developed a hierarchical coating with three tunable length-scale morphologies, allowing it to withstand high temperatures during long-term aging tests and maintain a stable solar absorptance. This research is important for the development of more reliable high-performance solar thermal systems.

Effects of nanoparticle structural features on the light-matter interactions in nanocermet layers and cermet-based solar absorbers

Xiaoyu Wang et al.

Summary: The study reveals that maintaining fine particle size (less than 10 nm), isolated states, and suitable separations are crucial for achieving high light absorption features in W-Al2O3 nanocermets at high temperatures. The intrinsic absorption of W NPs, their plasmonic excitation, and coupling effects among them significantly contribute to the optical performance of the cermet layers and the whole absorber. This research provides a valuable criterion for maintaining optical performances of nanocermet layers and cermet-based solar absorbers under heating for improved thermal robustness.
