Description
Carbon nanotubes embedded in NiO have been ablated onto aluminium by varying deposition time/thickness using pulsed laser deposition for selective solar absorber coatings. It has been noted that the absorptance increases as the thickness increases for all carbon concentrations. A maximum solar absorptance of 91 % has been achieved so far.
