Comparative thermal storage properties of gel wax filled with Au NPs and Au NRs.
(a) UV-Vis absorption spectra of gel wax-Au NP-1 and gel wax-Au NR-1 sample with the same nominal loading concentration. The inset images are the photographs of the prepared composites. (b) Sequential IR image of gel wax, gel wax-Au NP-1 and gel wax-Au NR-1 composite. The scale bar is 1 cm. (c) Average temperature profile during solar illumination and natural cooling. (d) Temperature at the light exit side during solar illumination and natural cooling.
