Abstract: A low cost, black nickel solar absorber coating used in thermal solar collectors on nanostructured highly thermal conductive copper was analyzed using XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) and MFM (magnetic force microscopy) techniques. Copper substrate nanostructuration was realized by electrochemical polishment to improve MFM analysis. Black nickel solar absorber coating was electrodeposited on nanostructured C81100 copper due to their good optical properties and low cost. XPS results after 15 minutes of sputtering identified black nickel as a Cermet mainly composed of two metallic nickel atoms for each nickel and zinc sulfide, i.e. 2 Ni: NiS: ZnS and traces of thiocyanate. The MFM black nickel lock-in-phase 5 x 5 square micrometer image presents a estimate mean diameter particle size in of (27 ± 12) nm and mode diameter particle size of (5 ± 12) nm. This nanometric particle was attributed to the ferromagnetic metallic nickel found in XPS analysis. Thus, MFM val!
idated that black nickel solar absorber coating is a nanometric graded cermet of NiS-ZnS with 13 % of metallic nickel nanoparticles by chemical composition of XPS results and MFM.
