Carbon nanotube-based composites which can be created by mixing relatively small quantities of CNT's with metal oxide (matrix) have been recently used as selective solar absorbers for photo-thermal conversion in a solar collector.enElectron microscopyMultiwall carbonNanotube-based compositesCarbon nanotube-based compositesSolar absorbersSolar collectorsConference PresentationRoro, K.
