Abstract: The i-SOLAR project is focused on the study of innovative approaches for co-generation of power and heat in advanced materials.
We identified two classes of materials: ceramic solids and nanofluids (i.e. suspensions of nanoparticles in liquids), whose optical properties have been characterized.

The Scientific Results:
1) Optical limiting of carbon nanohorn-based aqueous nanofluids: A systematic study
2) Efficient Optical Limiting in Carbon-Nanohorn Suspensions
3) Spectral emittance of ceramics for high temperature solar receivers
