Abstract

Solar selective coatings on stainless steel, stable up to 200 °C, were prepared by chemical conversion. The coatings had an integrated absorptance a of about 0.91 and a hemispherical thermal emittance ε100 of about 0.12. Compositional analysis revealed that these coatings consisted of a mixture of Fe2O3, Cr2O3 and elemental iron graded towards the substrate. The absorption seems to be partly due to interference effects and partly due to metallic particles dispersed in a semiconducting Fe2O3-Cr2O3 matrix. The degradation of coatings above 200 °C was found to be due to the increase in thickness of the oxide layer and to the absence of elemental iron.
