The extinction coefficient of particles β ext and the efficiency factor for extinction of single particle Q ext . Abstract: The study of radiation property of particles is of great significance in the field of solar thermo-chemistry. In this study the randomly dispersed particle system is obtained by the KBr tablet method, and the transmittance of activated carbon particle systems in 0.4–25 μm wavelength are measured by the spectrophotometer and FTIR to obtain their radiation property. The extinction coefficient of the particle systems and the efficiency factor for extinction of single particle are calculated through experimental data. The results show that the activated carbon particles have higher absorption ability in the visible light spectrum. Above investigation will not only be beneficial to the simulation of solar thermo-chemistry hydrogen production process, but also provide an experimental basis for inverse calculation of optical constants of the activated carbon particles.
