Transparent conductive tantalum doped tin oxide as selectively solar-transmitting coating for high temperature solar thermal applications

High-temperature solar-selective coatings based on Cr(Al)N. Part 2: Design, spectral properties and thermal stability of multilayer stacks

“…where C is the solar concentration ratio, I is the incident solar flux density [W/m 2 ],  is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, T and T0 are the receiver and ambient temperature [K], respectively. The following parameters were considered for the calculation: C = 100 and 1000 [27], I = 1000 W/m 2 , T = 600 ºC (873K), 700 ºC (973K) and 800 ºC (1073K), T0 = 298 K.…”

Exceptionally high-temperature in-air stability of transparent conductive oxide tantalum-doped tin dioxide

“…During the past two decades, SnO 2 :Ta (TTO) thin lms were deposited using many different techniques on different substrates. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] They showed charge carrier mobilities and resistivities competitive with those of ITO. The best values of up to 130 cm 2 (Vs) −1 and down to 1.1 × 10 −4 U cm, respectively, were obtained when pulsed laser deposition was used.…”

“…The primary aim of the present work is to provide evidence for in-air stability of TTO at temperatures up to 800 °C. This is required in order to extend our ongoing activities on hightemperature-stable solar-selective coatings for CSP, 18,30,[44][45][46] and to elaborate the concept of a selective transmitter on top of a black body absorber further. 15,30,47,48 The second goal of this work is to achieve a detailed understanding of the defect structure of SnO 2 :Ta thin lms.…”

A Novel Approach to Augment the Opto-Electronic Properties of Stannic Oxide (SnO2) Thin Films by Vanadium Doping

“…It is an ideal candidate for many applications. Its high chemical stability is considered to be an inherent advantage of SnO2 [10] and it makes SnO2 appreciably adoptable for applications in challenging atmosphere, for preparing transparent and strong-conductive electrode on photo enabled electrodes or as a selectively solar energy penetration coating [11,12]. Its applications include surface coatings, environmental and human health [13] gas sensors [14] organic pollutants and toxic water [15] and heterojunction catalysts [16], Tin dioxide (SnO2), having lattice parameters a = b = 4.737 Å and c = 3.826 Å with tetragonal Rutile structure is an important n-type semiconductor.…”
