Abstract

Volumetric absorption, which requires media with good optical and thermal properties, is a promising technology for solar collectors. An advanced composite core/shell nanostructure, which can be used for the integration of sunlight harvest and energy storage, is reported in this paper. The composite core/shell nanoparticles are composed by Sn, SiO₂ and Ag. Sn material is used for thermal energy storage through phase change, and SiO₂ provides containment. Ag shell can improve light absorption of nanoparticles due to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect. Compared with pure nanoparticles, the Sn/SiO₂/Ag composite nanoparticles have good abilities of both optical absorption and thermal energy storage, which can improve the performance of volumetric absorption solar collectors at medium to high temperature.
