Abstract
Ceramic particles for use in a solar power tower and methods for making and using the ceramic particles are disclosed. The ceramic particle can include a sintered ceramic material formed from a mixture of a ceramic raw material and a darkening component comprising MnO as Mn. The ceramic particle can have a size from about 8 mesh to about 170 mesh and a density of less than 4 g/cc.
