| Abstract |
Solar energy is a renewable energy source that is mainly used in the production of electricity. However, research is nowadays conducted to investigate solar energy use beyond electricity production, i.e. in heating fluids for processes or directly synthesize metals or compounds. This last application emerges from the high temperatures that can be reached when solar energy is suitably concentrated, which promotes numerous possibilities in metallurgy and materials processing or recycling. Because of the great potential of this energy source in the field of materials, research within this topic has significantly grown in the last decade: 25% of the papers on the topic were published in the last 5 years (>50% in the last 10). This state-of-the-art review tries to serve as a review of the development of research throughout history. The manuscript has been divided into different categories: metallurgy and materials, cement industry and ceramics, materials processing, and recycling of materials' wastes, to cover all the research topics where solar energy has been applied. |
