Abstract
A new electrolytic process is presented to grow solar selective layers on aluminium. By this process the anodization of the aluminium and th e pigmentation of the Al2O3 is done in only one electrolysis bath. Opt ical properties of these layers were investigated and the scale-up of the process was studied. To improve the corrosion resistance of these layers a hydrophobic procedure was used and the optical properties of the so modified layers were studied. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
