“…[22] proposed a visible light absorber based on a quasi-periodic gold nanocone array, achieving an average front absorption of 87.4% and a corresponding rear absorptivity of 76.2% in the range 300-700 nm. Cui et al presented a near-perfect absorber at visible frequency based on homogenous meta-surface nickel with a two-dimension cylinder array, which achieves average absorption at normal incidence are beyond 94% and 92% over the entire visible wavelength band from 400 nm to 700 nm, respectively [23]. Furthermore, Lei et al proposed an ultra-broadband absorber formed by a periodic array of titanium-silica (Ti-SiO 2 ) cubes and aluminum bottom film which shows near 100% absorbing property in the range from 354 to 1066 nm [24].…”

We report a numerical study of a broadband metamaterial absorber in visible light region by utilizing a single layer of metal-dielectric-metal configuration. The absorption bandwidth and absorption performances are tailored by varying the resonator shapes and metal materials. The absorption bandwidth of the proposed metamaterial absorber (MA) structure is enhanced significantly with decreasing the order of rotational symmetry of the resonator shape. Using gold configuration, the twofold symmetry MA structure based on the double-sized axe shaped resonator exhibits the broadband absorption response over the entire visible light and apart of infrared spectrum range from 320 to 982 nm with absorptivity above 90% for both transverse electric and transverse magnetic polarizations. The physical mechanism of broadband absorption is explained by the current, electric, and magnetic distributions, significantly affected by the propagating surface and localized surface plasmon resonances. Furthermore, the high absorber performances of the twofold symmetry MA structure can be obtained over entire visible light region (400-700 nm) for both noble metal of gold and low-cost metal of nickel configurations, indicating the proposed absorber is a promising candidate for low-cost and large-scale fabricate device operated in visible light region.

We propose a highly efficient, low-cost metamaterial absorber of nickel (Ni) metal-based cone-shaped resonators with a silicon dioxide dielectric layer (SiO2). The proposed absorber exhibits an average absorption of 97% for the transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE) modes over the visible region which is simulated by CST software. The nickel-metal impedance coincides with the impedance of free space and makes the proposed design an effective broadband absorber in the visible region. The average absorption with different incidence angles obtains over 90% and shows the polarization angles' independence. The average absorption spectra are also examined for the absorber with different noble metals. In addition, short-circuit current densities (Jsc) are calculated at different incidence angles for both modes under a global air mass of 1.5 (AM1.5). We have also plotted the J–V curve to obtain the values of the open-circuit voltage (Voc), Fill Factor, and conversion efficiency (η), whose values are 0.563V, 81.86%, and 11.68%, respectively. The proposed metamaterial absorber can be utilized to develop more reliable, highly efficient, cost-effective, and maximum-power extraction photovoltaic systems.

“…However, its low melting point (660 °C) and high chemical reactivity restrict its utilization for hightemperature applications [63]. Nickel (Ni) [64], chromium (Cr) [65], titanium (Ti) [66], tungsten (W) [62], molybdenum (Mo), and tantalum (Ta) [13], as well as refractory materials like titanium nitride (TiN) [67] and zirconium nitride (ZrN) [68], have all been investigated for the design of both absorbers and emitters. Emitters essentially exhibit narrowband absorption response and are augmented with broadband absorbers in solar thermal photovoltaic (STPV) applications.…”

In recent years, metamaterials and metasurfaces have prospered in many fields of “science and technology,” covering the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Metasurface devices constituting of a set arrangement of meta-atoms translate into modern-day miniaturized means to achieve planar, ultrathin, multifunctional electromagnetic (EM) systems. Metasurfaces are ideal candidates to develop next-generation, lightweight, and fabrication-friendly optical components as they impart local and space-variant phase changes on incident EM waves, providing more comprehensive control over EM wavefronts. This attribute has been instrumental in realizing a variety of special beams for high-capacity data transmission and superresolution imaging. Furthermore, from the perspective of efficiency, the below-par performance of previously explored plasmonic-based metasurfaces can be enhanced by employing all-dielectric metasurfaces. All-dielectric metasurfaces with high refractive indices have high resonance quality factors, low cost, and CMOS fabrication compatibility. 2D materials-based metasurface design has succeeded in further reducing the device footprints for better integration in optoelectronic devices. The conventional, time- and computation-intensive EM solvers have largely been assisted by artificial intelligence techniques, resulting in quicker metasurface designing. This review focuses on the state-of-the-art meta-devices employed for wavefront manipulations of optical waves. The design variants and applications of metasurfaces constitute a prolific field for future research to meet existing challenges and make the devices more suitable for real-time applications.
