Improving selectivity of thin film solar absorber by cobalt oxide grafted reduced graphene oxide

N. Murugesan et al.

Summary: Reduced graphene oxide modified cobalt oxide nanocomposite thin films were prepared for solar selective absorber. The thin films had a face centered cubic structure with spherical shaped grains and rough surface. The absence of impurities was confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectra. Raman spectra predicted a spinel structure with combined vibrations of tetrahedral site and octahedral oxygen motions in the nanocomposite thin films. The prepared thin films with 1.0 wt% of graphene oxide showed the highest solar absorptance (?? = 89.95), low thermal emittance (?? = 4.6), and highest solar selectivity (?? = 19.55). These values indicated that the nanocomposite thin film samples can be ideal candidates for solar thermal energy gadgets.

Enhancing selectivity of solar absorber using reduced graphene oxide modified nickel oxide nanocomposite thin films

N. Murugesan et al.

Summary: Commercial solar selective absorbers prepared through several techniques have drawbacks such as complicated and expensive equipment, substantial materials requirement, and polluting environment. This study focuses on a novel, high-performance, and low-cost rGO-NiO solar selective absorber thin film prepared through solvothermal route. The thin film showed high absorptance and low thermal emittance, making it suitable for solar to thermal energy conversion.

Summary: The study investigated the influence of Cu2+ ions concentration on the properties of ZnO-CuO NCs, revealing that CuO can reduce the band gap and shift absorption towards the red region. The concentration of Cu2+ ions also significantly affects the size of ZnO-CuO NCs and the efficiency of DSSC.

Summary: The study investigates the influence of aging time on the structural, morphological, and optical characteristics of p-type quaternary CZTS absorber materials. The results show that large grain size and solution stability of the absorber material are crucial for solar cell energy conversion efficiency, and the band gap of CZTS thin film shifts towards the optimal energy value, making it promising for solar cell applications.
