Investigation of microstructure of molybdenum?copper black electrodeposited coatings with reference to solar selectivity

Chemical vapor deposition of low reflective cobalt (II) oxide films

“…Such films find applications in military night sight for optical guidance systems [2], in space applications [3] and can also be used for heat dissipation between different components in microelectronic devices [4]. Moreover, light absorber films are used in the renewable energy domain in photothermal energy conversion [5][6][7][8], in photoelectric energy conversion [9], and in solar thermophotovoltaic conversion systems [10][11][12].…”

Low-cost black Cu–Ni alloy coatings for solar selective applications

“…A number of efforts have been made to electrodeposit black chromium [20][21][22][23][24][25], black nickel [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35], black cobalt [36][37][38], black molybdenum [39][40][41][42][43], black copper coatings [44][45][46] and black aluminum [47][48][49][50][51]. Other known black coatings are Ni-Sn [52], Ni-Cd [53] Co-Sn [54], Co-Cd [55], Mo-Cu [56] and Fe-P [57].…”

Codeposition of Copper and Molybdenum by Electroplating

“…25 Yousif et al have reported molybdenum-copper electrodeposited coatings using CuSO 4 and (NH 4 ) 6 Mo 7 O 24 4H 2 O for selective absorbance of solar radiation. 26 However, few reports of codeposition of Cu and Mo by electroplating have been published to date, as far as we know.…”
