FIG. 1 shows a cross section of the solar-thermal collection apparatus 10 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The solar-thermal collection apparatus 10 includes athermal resistance body 101 and a solar-thermal converter 102. Thethermal resistance body 101 can be, but is not limited to, a metal container with a high-reflection coating on itsinner wall 101A. Theouter wall 102B of the solar-thermal converter 102 has a high-absorption coating and the inner space of the solar-thermal converter 102 is configured to accommodate food orliquid 105 to be heated. According to one embodiment, the solar-thermal converter 102 is placed inside thethermal resistance body 101 but does not have any direct physical contact with theresistance body 101 due to the support of astand 104. Anopening 103 penetrating through the wall of thethermal resistance body 101 can be positioned in an arbitrary position on thebody 101; as shown inFIG. 1 , theopening 103 can be disposed at the bottom of thebody 101. A space exists between thethermal resistance body 101 and the solar-thermal converter 102 so as to form a body with high thermal resistance in order to prevent heat from dissipating to the exterior of the solar-thermal converter 102. As shown inFIG. 1 , acover 101C is disposed on thethermal resistance body 101, and anothercover 102C is disposed on the solar-thermal converter 102. The implementation of the covers is optional. In the present embodiment, the cover serves to facilitate the displacement and the removal of the food or liquid to be heated. - The
opening 103 positioned at the bottom of thethermal resistance body 101 is configured to receive the solar rays gathered by the light collector (not shown). After passing through theopening 103 and entering thethermal resistance body 101, a portion of the solar rays are directly absorbed by the high-absorption coating on theouter surface 102B of the solar-thermal converter 102 and converted into heat. The portion of solar rays which are not absorbed are consecutively and repeatedly reflected by the high-reflection coating on the inner wall of thethermal resistance body 101. The reflected rays are partially absorbed by the high-absorption coating of the solar-thermal converter 102, and the portion which are not absorbed are reflected by the high-reflection coating again. A multiple absorption-reflection routine facilitates the efficiency of solar-thermal conversion, and in one embodiment, the metallic solar-thermal converter evenly conducts and transfers the heat to the food orliquid 102 to be heated. - In the present embodiment, the high-reflection coating is made of aluminum, and the solar-
thermal converter 102 is made of high thermal conductivity materials, for example, copper. However, the high-reflection coating and the high thermal conductivity materials are not limited to the materials mentioned above.

However, the main body used in this disclosure is not limited to that of the present embodiment, and other dark color metal oxide, metal sulfide, metal carbide, and metal nitride such as CuO, Hg2O, V2O3, FeO, Ni2O3, Co2O3, Fe3O4, MnO2, Ag2S, Cu2O, CdO, V2O5, Fe2O3, and Ag2O can also be used.

Thethermal resistance body 201 can be, but is not limited to, a metal container with a high-reflection coating on theinner wall 201A. The solar-thermal converter 202 possesses anouter wall 202B with high-absorption coating. The food or liquid to be heated 205 is disposed inside the solar-thermal converter 202. According to one embodiment, the solar-thermal converter 202 is placed inside thethermal resistance body 201 but does not have any direct physical contact with theresistance body 201 due to the support of astand 204. Arectangular opening 203 is disposed at the bottom of thebody 201. A space exists between thethermal resistance body 201 and the solar-thermal converter 202 so as to form a body with high thermal resistance in order to prevent the heat inside the converter from dissipating to the exterior of the solar-thermal converter 202. As shown inFIG. 2 , acover 201C is disposed on thethermal resistance body 201, and anothercover 202C is disposed on the solar-thermal converter 202. The implementation of the covers is optional.

rectangular opening 203 positioned at the bottom of thethermal resistance body 201 is configured to receive the solar rays gathered by the light collector (not shown). After passing through theopening 103 and entering thethermal resistance body 201, a portion of the solar rays are directly absorbed by the high-absorption coating on theouter surface 202B of the solar-thermal converter 202 and converted into heat. The portion of the solar rays which are not absorbed are consecutively and repeatedly reflected by the high-reflection coating on the inner wall of thethermal resistance body 201. The reflected rays are partially absorbed by the high-absorption coating of the solar-thermal converter 202 and the portion which are not absorbed are reflected by the high-reflection coating again. A multiple absorption-reflection routine facilitates the efficiency of solar-thermal conversion, and in one embodiment, the metallic solar-thermal converter evenly conducts and transfers the heat to the food orliquid 205 to be heated. The design of therectangular opening 203 serves to take into account the relative position of the sun with respect to the solar-thermal converter 20. The path of the focal point of the collector changes as the relative position of the sun changes. Typically, the path is a straight line, and therefore therectangular opening 203 can direct most of the light into the apparatus over a long timeframe.

thermal converter 202 is made of high thermal conductivity materials, for example, graphite. The high-absorption coating includes a main body and dopants. In the present embodiment, the main body includes dark color metal oxide such as CuO, Ni2O3, Co2O3, Fe3O4, MnO2, Fe2O3, and Ag2O, and the dopants are gold nanoparticles. - In one embodiment, the high-absorption coating has an absorption rate greater than 30%, and the diameter of the metal nanoparticles is within a range of from 1 nm to 100 nm. The metal nanoparticles applied in the high-absorption coating produces surface plasma effect; in other words, the coating can absorb light and produce instantaneous high temperature, passing the thermal energy to the food or liquid to be heated via the conduction of the solar-
thermal converter 202. -

The micro-features in the embodiment shown inFIG. 4 are a plurality oftetrahedrons 2021. The total number of the light impingement on the stereoscopic microstructure surface is greater than that on the untreated planar surface.

The process to prepare the structure includes forming a high-absorption coating on the outer surface of the solar-thermal converter 202 by electroplating or anodic treatment, followed by the shaping of the microstructure. However, the method for forming a high-absorption coating on the outer surface is not limited to the present embodiment; other physical vapor deposition methods such as e-gun evaporation, thermal evaporation, or sputtering can be adopted to form the coating.
