Abstract
Black molybdenum thin films fabricated by chemical vapor deposition demonstrate a significant solar absorptance coupled with a high IR reflectance. Because antireflected black molybdenum demonstrates such spectral selectivity in a coating of simple design, it is an attractive candidate for use in photothermal solar energy conversion. Films deposited onto Incoloy alloy 800 and stainless steel 316 have survived testing in vacuum at 500 °C and in air at 350 °C. If the process parameters are varied during deposition, this can lead to black molybdenum with a graded composition.
