In this work, we explore the possibility that a hexagonal ring structure can be used as a solar
absorber and a thermal emitter for multiple applications. By using FDTD (finite-difference …

Based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, a wide-band solar absorber
(WA) is constructed and simulated in this paper. Due to the Fabry-Perot resonance (FPR) …

Natural resources are considered the main sources for our life, which include mainly
resources of water, energy and food. Along with the explosion of global population, these …

Metamaterial absorbers possess potential applications in a large number of fields, including
solar energy harvesting, photovoltaics, stealth technology and sensors, owing to their …

An MXene material absorbs visible and IR light which makes a MXene-based solar absorber
an ideal absorber. Here, we propose a high-absorption broadband absorber based on an …

This study proposes a pyramid-shaped solar absorber designed with multi-layered Ti-SiO 2
ring stacked. The structure achieves an average absorption efficiency of 98.03% over the …

Wideband metamaterial perfect absorbers have been extensively researched due to their
excellent properties. A four-layer ultra-broadband metamaterial perfect absorber engraved …

This work proposes a multi-layer structured solar absorber based on TiN, metal oxide Nb 2
O 5 and graphene. Simulations and calculations are based on finite-difference time-domain …

Capture and utilization of solar energy using phase change materials (PCMs) can effectively
answer the challenge of solar intermittency. However, the flaws of low thermal conductivity …

Due to the inherent local limitations of surface plasmon resonance, it is challenging to
design an ultra-broadband electromagnetic wave absorber covering multiple bands. In this …
