By using femtosecond laser machining, this study demonstrates the successful enhancement of solar absorptance in tantalum boride, which has significant implications for Concentrating Solar Power.
Tantalum boride is an ultra-refractory and ultra-hard ceramic known so far for its favorable high-temperature thermo-mechanical properties and also characterized by a low spectral emittance, making it interesting for novel high-temperature solar absorbers for Concentrating Solar Power. In this work, we investigated two types of TaB2 sintered products with different porosities, and on each of them, we realized four femtosecond laser treatments differing in the accumulated laser fluence. The treated surfaces were then characterized by SEM-EDS, roughness analysis, and optical spectrometry. We show that, depending on laser processing parameters, the multi-scale surface textures produced by femtosecond laser machining can greatly increase the solar absorptance, while the spectral emittance increase is significantly lower. These combined effects result in increased photothermal efficiency of the absorber, with interesting perspectives for the application of these ceramics in Concentrating Solar Power and Concentrating Solar Thermal. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of successful photothermal efficiency enhancement of ultra-hard ceramics using laser machining.
