Abstract

In the photothermal system,the collector plays a crucial role in photothermal conversion by using solar selective absorbing coatings.Therefore,optimizing these coatings is essential for enhancing collector efficiency.The main absorption mechanisms of selective absorber coatings include intrinsic absorption and interference absorption,and various strategies such as material doping,equipartition excitations,and optical traps are employed to enhance the absorption efficiency.The failure of the selective absorption coating is the primary factor that affects the efficiency during practical operation.Clarifying the reasons of failure and finding solutions are the key to further research on selective absorption coatings.Firstly,the solar selective absorbing coatings types and the basic absorbing principle were introduced.Then,the failure mechanisms of solar selective absorption coatings was briefly sorted out.Finally,we summarized several methods for inhibiting coating failure.
