The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to University of Michigan (UM) to develop thermally-stable aerogels for integration into concentrated solar power (CSP) receivers. The aerogels would be developed to efficiently capture sunlight and convert it into high-grade heat, enabling receiver operation at elevated temperatures and under low solar concentration. The project would be completed over a single Budget Period.
