Structure, Optical Properties and Thermal Stability of All-Ceramic Solar Selective Absorbing Coatings: A Mini Review

Solar selective absorbing coatings (SSAC) harvest solar energy in the form of thermal energy. Traditional metal-rich SSACs like cermet-based coatings and semiconductor–metal tandems usually exhibit both a high solar absorptance and a low thermal emittance; however, metal nanoparticles can easily oxi...
