Thermal shocking resistance of AlCrNO-based solar selective absorbing coating prepared by cathodic arc plating

A parametric study on the performance characteristics of an evacuated flat-plate photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) collector

“…The normal PV/T collector shows high spectral absorptivity (emissivity) throughout the middle-and farinfrared wavelengths, indicating that a significant portion of absorbed heat is radiatively dissipated from the panel [16]. Therefore, inspired by the introduction of solar selective absorbing coatings in solar thermal collectors [17,18], the thermal performance of a PV/T collector can be improved by cutting down the long-wave emissivity of the PV/T panel.…”
