Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The stability of solar selective absorber coatings in hostile environments (e.g., humid condition, corrosive medium, longer exposure at elevated temperature) needs to be critically assessed to ensure durability of such coatings. In the present work, magnetron sputtered W/WAlN/WAlON/Al 2 O 3 -based absorber coating with a high absorptance (0.958) and low emittance (82 °C) has been tested in humid and corrosive environments. The selectivity (absorptance/emittance) of the coating did not change after keeping it in 95% humidity at 37 °C for 400 h. Corrosion study in 3.5% NaCl solution reveals that this novel multilayer coating has a better corrosion resistance than that of uncoated stainless steel (SS) substrate. The nanoindentation test on the coating indicates that it has a hardness of 9.6 ± 0.5 GPa. The performance of the coating did not degrade after heat treatment at 350 °C in air for 1000 h. Additionally, the activation energy for degradation has been determined to predict the stability of the coating at high temperature. Further, the normal spectral emissivity of the tandem solar absorber was measured in the full angular range from 200 to 500 °C. The results of emissivity measurements by varying observation angles are analysed using numerical integration to obtain the total hemispherical emissivity. In summary, W/WAlN/WAlON/Al 2 O 3 stack is an attractive candidate absorber coating for photo-thermal conversion systems.
