Résumé |
Solar thermal electricity generation is an appealing green concept, which the efficiency enhancement requires the development of appropriate solar absorbers using an up-scalable processing technique. Here, we report on the nanoengineering of carbon nanotubes (CNT) as an approach to design high-performance solar absorbers using oxide materials in a core/shell architecture. Gas-phase synthesis is deployed for the growth of modified CNT cores with infra-red reflecting and low refractive index shell layers. The designed coating fully benefits from the high absorbance of CNTs and the infrared-reflecting properties of Al-doped ZnO irrespective of the nature of the underlying substrate. The nano-engineered CNT-metal oxide design withstands extended exposure to 1000 K.
