MXene-based semi-circle with a thin wire-shaped resonator wideband polarization-insensitive solar absorber

Fossil fuels’ supply peaks, decreases, and shortages are determined by their proven reserves, research, and consumption rates. With a large upfront cost, renewable and alternative energy sources are essential to solving the twin issues of energy and climate change. Solar absorbers are an excellent way to use renewable energy from the environment. This paper suggested an MXene-based semi-circle with a thin wire-shaped resonator (MSCWTWSR) solar absorber where the resonator layer consists of MXene material and Fe is used as substrate layer and the resonator has semi-circle and thin wire geometry which effectively absorbs the sun radiation with wideband. This proposed MSCWTWSR solar absorber works at 200–3000 (nm) wavelength and has more than 93% average absorption. The first band bandwidth of this MSCWTWSR solar absorber is 400 (nm), the second band is 530 (nm), and the third band is 470 (nm). This structure got more than 93% absorption in the AM 1.5 solar irradiation configuration. The structure gives in the Transverse electric (TE) field and Transverse magnetic (TM) field and the structure has polarization for insensitive. Furthermore, there is also investigated different incidence angles. A suggested article includes sections on testing for electric and magnetic intensities with a comparison table. The suggested solar absorber is employed in a distinct thermal heating application since MXene has a low thermal resistance and good thermal stability.
