F. T. Thema,F. T. Thema,P. Beukes,Z.Y. Nuru,Z.Y. Nuru,L. Kotsedi,L. Kotsedi,Mohammed Khenfouch,Mohammed Khenfouch,Mokhotjwa Simon Dhlamini,B.A. Julies,E. Iwuohah,Malik Maaza,Malik Maaza +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple and economical approach to synthesize Graphene Nanosheets via the exfoliation and intercalation of natural graphite flake material into graphene oxide (GO) following a γ-irradiation process is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization and preparation of Pt-Al 2 O 3 double cermet as selective solar absorber coatings
TL;DR: In this article, a computer simulation program was used to calculate the appropriate complex refractive index of the Pt-Al 2 O 3 double cermet structure, which was then used as a database to optimize the selective solar absorber coating.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth and characterization of spectrally selective Cr 2 O 3 /Cr/Cr 2 O 3 multilayered solar absorber by e-beam evaporation
