, Solar Selective Absorbers
Solar Selective Absorbers: Materials, Coatings, and Applications covers different
harnessing technologies for solar energy, electromagnetic radiation including design
principles, and different types of spectrally selective coatings.
The book emphasises experimental methods for synthesising these coating struc-
tures and characterisation techniques to quantify the absorber characteristics, suit-
able for solar thermal applications. It also provides a compact review of the literature
on solar (spectrally) selective absorber materials and coatings.
• Summarises the materials, deposition and characterization techniques, and
applications of solar selective absorbers
• Introduces solar selective absorber materials and photothermal technology
• Explores electrodeposition techniques and their use in the development of
solar selective absorber films
• Provides an understanding of solar selective absorber materials and coating
techniques in photothermal technology
• Explains sputtering techniques and their use in the development of ZrO2/
ZrC-ZrN/Zr tandem structure-based solar selective absorber films
The book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in solar energy, solar thermal
conversion, and materials science.
