	abstract = {A method for preparing a novel bixbyite non-selective coating for solar thermal conversion is described. The coating is formed by a thermal reaction between a titania sol{\textendash}gel precursor with a copper manganese spinel to form a new material, Cu0.44Ti0.44Mn0.84Fe0.28O3, with a bixbyite structure. The effect of temperature and ratio between the two components on the formation of the bixbyite layer (deposited on Inconel by spray-coating) was studied. The absorptance of the films (AM 1.5; 335{\textendash}2500nm) with a thickness of 10{\textpm}2{\textmu}m after annealing at 2h at 650{\textdegree}C and 750{\textdegree}C was 97.4\% and 94.7\%, respectively. This synthesis represents a novel approach in which the final solar thermal coating is formed as a continuous and uniform layer which combines both the absorber and the ceramic binder. The developed material shows promising results for future applications as absorber in solar thermal energy conversion.{\textbullet}A new material combining the absorber and a ceramic matrix was formed.{\textbullet}This material was used for solar thermal application with high absorptivity.{\textbullet}The formation of the material occurred by thermal treatment of a sprayed thin film.},
