Abstract
Ni-Co/Nanoporous Al2O3/Aluminum spectrally selective structures are grown using electrochemical anodization of alumina, followed by electrochemical pigmentation of Ni and Co metallic particles simultaneously. The pigmentation of Ni and Co particles into nanoporous anodized alumina (AA) is achieved using the reduction of metal ions in the aqueous electrolyte. The measured absorptivity and emittance are ∼ 0.90 ± 0.05 and 0.14 ± 0.04, respectively. These structures are subjected to the ten identical thermal cycling upto 300°C in inert N2 and air ambient conditions. The optical performance suggests that absorptivity is nearly same with slight enhancement in the emittance values as compared to the structure without any heat treatment. The accelerated corrosion studies suggest that Ni-Co co-pigmented AA structures are relatively corrosion robust as compared to that of the AA structure. © 2017. The Authors.
