New Insight into the Angle Insensitivity of Ultrathin Planar Optical Absorbers for Broadband Solar Energy Harvesting
Two challenging problems still remain for optical absorbers consisting of an ultrathin planar semiconductor film on top of an opaque metallic substrate. One is the angle-insensitive mechanism and the other is the system design needed for broadband solar energy harvesting. Here, first we theoretically demonstrates that the high refractive index, instead of the ultrathin feature as reported in pr...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of highly efficient, broadband plasmonic absorbers for solar steam generation
The study of ideal absorbers, which can efficiently absorb light over a broad range of wavelengths, is of fundamental importance, as well as critical for many applications from solar steam generation and thermophotovoltaics to light/thermal detectors. As a result of recent advances in plasmonics, plasmonic absorbers have attracted a lot of attention. However, the performance and scalability of ...
متن کاملPanchromatic absorbers for solar light-harvesting.
A set of panchromatic absorbers exhibiting long excited-state lifetimes in both polar and nonpolar media has been prepared. The architectures are based on a porphyrin strongly coupled electronically to 1-4 perylene-monoimides via ethyne linkers. The constructs should find utility in molecular solar-conversion systems.
متن کاملHigh-performance absorbers for solar thermal applications
Energy has emerged as one of the most significant and universal concerns society will face in this century. Currently, the world relies on fossil fuels to produce 86% of its energy. However, the combustion of fossil fuels generates greenhouse gases, a major factor responsible for global warming. Because concentrated solar thermal (CST) systems offer a pathway to a cost-competitive alternative t...
متن کاملTitanium diboride ceramics for solar thermal absorbers
Titanium diboride (TiB2) is a low-density refractory material belonging to the family of ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs). This paper reports on the production and microstructural and optical characterization of nearly fully dense TiB2, with particular interest to its potential utilization as novel thermal solar absorber. Monolithic bulk samples are produced starting from elemental react...
