Selective Coating For Solar Absorbers Using Sol Gel Technique

The book is concerned with the technique of preparation and testing of a solar absorber coat which is CuCoMnOx. This coat is prepared by sol gel technique and has a good selectivity which means a high absorptivity and a low emissivity of solar radiation. It describes the method of preparation of the substrate material, method of solution preparation and coating as well as the effect of different parameters on the obtained coat characteristics.
