Abstract (English)	Targeting the emerging market of solar heat for industrial processes, we propose a novel highly durable solar selective absorber coating with strongly reduced cobalt content and reduced thermal emissivity. The coating is produced in a low-cost, low-carbon, industrially-scalable sol-gel process.
