Abstract

 Development of materials with the ideal black body absorption spectrum are of great interest. Such materials could improve the efficiency of solar cells, and passive cooling and heat transfer systems as well as the protective and decorative coatings. Fabricating black anodizing coatings is promising for this purpose because they exhibit low light reflection from the surface. Such coatings can be produced through successive anodizing and black coating of aluminum alloys. In this study, the effect of anodizing repetition on the absorption coefficient of the black anodizing coatings on 2024 aluminum alloy was investigated, as model. All the parameters were fixed in the black coloring stage to evaluate the influence of the anodizing steps. After a one-step anodizing, the black coatings showed an absorption coefficient of 0.956 in the visible region and 0.911 in the of 220 to 2200 nm wavelength range, while their absorption coefficient increased after a three-step anodizing up to 0.982 in the visible region and up to 0.966 in the 220 to 2200 nm wavelength range. This indicates that anodizing repetition helps the optical absorption of black anodizing coatings to approach the optical absorption of an ideal black body.
