Abstract

The main goal of addressing the inefficiency of electricity and reducing air pollution faced today has led to the invention of the recent absorber as a form of green energy. While investigating the absorber with more layers could improve its performance, the three-layer type remains the most widely used. Additionally, the inclusion of a graphene layer enhances the efficiency, making it a wideband structure. The current structure employs a three-layer absorber technique, consisting of Chromium, Titanium Nitride (TiN), and Aluminum Antimonide (AlSb) (from the resonance surface to the base layer). With an overall efficiency of 93 % over a 2800 nm bandwidth, the output efficiencies can be studied across different air regions (UV – NIR). Our investigated absorber is a broadband type, suitable for a variety of heating applications, both industrial and domestic. Furthermore, this broadband absorber can be utilized to collect and emit heat energy at high temperatures.
