The invention relates to a 
vanadium high-temperature solar selective absorption 
coating and a preparation method thereof. The selective absorption 
coating consists of three 
layers of film and comprises a bottom 
infrared reflection layer, an intermediate 
absorption layer and a surface anti-reflection layer, wherein the bottom 
infrared reflection layer is deposited on the surface of a substrate, the intermediate 
absorption layer is deposited on the bottom 
infrared reflection layer, and the surface anti-reflection layer is deposited on the intermediate 
absorption layer; and the bottom infrared reflection layer consists of a 
metal vanadium (V) film, the intermediate absorption layer comprises a first sub-layer and a second sub-layer, both the first and the second sub-
layers respectively consist of a V + 
silicon dioxide (SiO2) film or a V + aluminum 
oxide (Al2O3) film, and the surface anti-reflection layer consists of a SiO2 film or an Al2O3 layer. The 
vanadium-based high-temperature solarselective absorption 
coating is stable in high temperature and has 
high absorption rate to the solar spectrum and 
low transmission rate. The preparation technique is simple and convenient to operate and easy to control, the 
sputtering speed is fast, the production period can be shortened, the process is stable, and the equipment cost and production cost can be greatly reduced.
