    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Optics
    • Nanotechnology

    Background:

    • Developing efficient selective solar absorbers is crucial for advancing solar thermal energy conversion.
    • Metamaterials offer unique optical properties for designing advanced solar absorbers.
    • Tungsten-based materials show promise for high-temperature solar applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design, fabricate, and characterize a novel tungsten-based metamaterial selective solar absorber (SSA).
    • To investigate the optical properties, including absorptance, selectivity, and angular/polarization dependence.
    • To analyze the underlying physics of energy dissipation for performance optimization.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structure with a nanodisk array using tungsten.
    • Optical characterization of absorptance spectra in the visible and near-infrared regions.
    • Theoretical modeling and experimental verification of optical performance and energy dissipation.

    Main Results:

    • The fabricated SSA exhibits strong and selective absorption (>90% absorptance) between 0.5-1.75 μm.
    • Abrupt drop in absorptance (<12.6%) beyond 2.5 μm, ensuring high selectivity.
    • The absorber is polarization-insensitive and maintains performance up to 40° incidence.

    Conclusions:

    • The tungsten-based metamaterial SSA demonstrates excellent broadband and selective absorption properties.
    • The designed SSA is suitable for solar thermal applications due to its stability under varying incidence angles and polarization.
    • The study provides insights into the physics governing the performance of such metamaterial absorbers.
