Title: Refractory solar selective coatings

Abstract

Selective receiver coatings provide high performance for concentrated solar power applications. The solar selective coating provides high solar absorptivity (90% or greater) with low IR emissivity (0.1 or less) while maintaining stability at temperatures greater than 700° C. The coating comprises a composite of a mesoporous photonic matrix with a conformal optical coating. One example composite coating includes a mesoporous photonic coating comprising a plurality of particles having sizes between 100 nm and 2000 nm, and a conformal optical coating formed by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) that infiltrates the mesoporous structure of the photonic coating and comprises metal nanoparticles and an amorphous dielectric matrix.
