Abstract

Solar absorption, high-temperature radiation control, hyperspectral sensors, and optical communication are a few examples of many optical applications that demand specific materials with spectral selectivity. Despite advancements in materials science, the properties and cost of production for many new materials often prevent their widespread use. This project aims to enhance the flexibility of optical materials by incorporating periodic or complex structures to achieve desired functionalities, focusing on maintaining low production costs, better conversion efficiency, and ensuring scalable and reproducible designs. In this regard, low emissive coatings were considered to control the thermal losses of the selective solar absorbers which effectively increased the panel's efficiency. Moreover, an external layer of transparent conductive oxides enabled us to utilise the full solar spectra, ultimately increasing the solar energy conversion in the hybrid panel.
