Abstract
A novel multilayer, solar selective absorbing coating that contains lamellar-distributed nanoparticles in its cermet-absorbing sublayers has been fabricated using ion-source-assisted cathodic arc plating. The multilayer coating shows an outstanding selectivity, i.e., a high solar absorptance (0.909), yet it has a low thermal emittance (0.163). More importantly, the long-term thermal stability tests demonstrate that the lamellar-structured absorbers can remain stable, even when annealed at 500 °C for 1000 h in ambient air. The coating’s enhanced selectivity and thermal stability were attributed to the formation of lamellar-distributed nanoparticles in the absorbing sublayer, which form many asymmetric Fabry–Pérot cavities. In this case, the light would be held in the Fabry–Pérot cavities and thus boost the absorptivity due to the increase in interaction time. Meanwhile, the unique distribution of the nanoparticles is also beneficial for enhancing the surface plasmon resonance absorption, and thus promoting the increase in solar selectivity. Furthermore, the excellent thermal stability is ascribed to the existence of amorphous matrices, which separate and seal the nanoparticles into honeycomb shells. In this case, the atomic diffusion in the nanoparticles would be significantly retarded as the amorphous matrices can remain stable below the crystallization temperatures, which can effectively slow down the growth and agglomeration of the nanoparticles.
