Abstract
With global energy demand surging and traditional energy resources diminishing, the solar absorber featuring optimized design shows substantial potential in areas like power generation. This study proposes a solar absorber that is insensitive to wide-angle incidence and polarization. It has a cylindrical structure with square holes, which is constructed from titanium nitride (TiN). The calculation results indicate that, for plane waves, the average absorption of this solar absorber across the wavelength range of 300–2500 nm reaches 92.4%. Moreover, its absorption rate of the solar spectrum corresponding to AM1.5 reaches 94.8%. The analysis of the characteristics within the electric and magnetic field profiles…
