The finite element method-based COMSOL Multiphysics software simulations were used to optimize the structural parameters of the microstructures and visualize the electric field and electromagnetic power loss distribution in the structure. An optimized 2D unit cell of the structure consists of a 4 μm × 160 nm TiN base on a glass substrate covered with a 70 nm thick SiO2 film. A periodic structure of TiN straps (each 90 nm thick and 2 μm wide) is deposited over the SiO2. The straps are capped with a 40 nm thick layer of high-temperature dielectric HfO2 with a periodicity of 4 µm. This unit is symmetric along the other dimension and is repeated periodically along the horizontal direction. Similar optimized parameters were used for 7, 10, and 100 µm periodic structures to investigate the effect of grating structure pitch on the absorption of light. Although these microstructures were optimized for the visible light spectrum, they show absorption efficiency of >92% when integrated over a broadband wavelength spectrum ranging from 400 to 1200 nm. The experimental data show excellent agreement with the simulated results. We observe less than 5% difference between experimental and simulated absorption efficiencies for the investigated microstructures. Furthermore, we should emphasize that, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to experimentally report the light to heat conversion in metamaterials with micron-range size patterned structures.","PeriodicalId":505149,"journal":{"name":"APL Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140472959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, we developed additively manufactured graphene aerosol gel-based all-solid-state micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) via inkjet printing with functioning temperature in the range from −15 to +70 °C and exhibiting a super-stable and reliable electrochemical performance using interdigitated finger electrodes and PVA/H3PO4 solid-state electrolyte. The graphene aerosol gel was obtained using a scalable single step synthesis method from a gas phase precursor using a detonation process, producing a nanoscale shell type structure. The fabricated graphene aerosol gel-based solid-state MSC achieved a volumetric capacitance of 376.63 mF cm−3 (areal capacitance of 76.23 μF cm−2) at a constant current of 0.25 μA and demonstrated exceptional cyclic stability (∼99.6% of capacitance retention) over 10 000 cycles. To exploit the mechanical strength of the as-fabricated graphene aerosol gel-based solid-state MSC, its supercapacitive performance was scrutinized under various bending and twisting angles and the results showed excellent mechanical flexibility. Furthermore, to study the electrochemical performance of the as-fabricated graphene aerosol gel solid-state MSC in stringent surroundings, a broad temperature dependent supercapacitive analysis was performed as stated above. The electrochemical results of the as-fabricated graphene aerosol gel based all-solid-state MSC exhibit a highly potential route to develop scalable and authentic future miniaturized energy storage devices for IoT based smart electronic appliances.","PeriodicalId":505149,"journal":{"name":"APL Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139598560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
