• Carbon Nanotube Spectrally Selective Solar Thermal Absorbers 

      Chen, Zhonghua (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2016-10-04)
      The main objectives of this work were to investigate a) the feasibility of depositing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) homogeneously on metal substrates by electrophoresis and b) the performance of MWCNT coatings as spectrally selective absorbers. Stable aqueous MWCNT suspensions were prepared and employed in electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of MWCNT coatings on aluminum substrates. The surface ...
