“…In recent years, various cermets and absorber-reflector tandem concept based coatings have been developed for high temperature solar thermal applications (Selvakumar and Barshilia, 2012;Esposito et al, 2009;Antonaia et al, 2010;Lanxner and Elgat (1990); Selvakumar et al, 2015;Rebouta et al, 2015;Jyothi et al, 2015;Liu et al, 2015;Valleti et al, 2014;Gong et al, 2015;Liu et al, 2014). Our group has developed various transition metal nitride/oxide based solar selective coatings for high temperature solar thermal applications (Selvakumar et al, 2015;Jyothi et al, 2015;Selvakumar et al, 2010).…”
