Assembled Wood-Polyester Fabric-Hydrogel Janus Evaporator for Sustainable Seawater Desalination.

Solar-driven interfacial evaporation technology is a novel and efficient desalination process that helps alleviate the global shortage of freshwater resources. We developed a Janus evaporator assembled from cotton hydrogel, hydrophilic polyester fabric (PF), and Hydrophobic Wood (PW). By doping graphene oxide and TiO2 as light-absorbing materials within the hydrogel, we achieved a high absorptivity of over 90% across the entire solar spectrum. The hydrophilically modified PF, combined with the PW substrate, provided robust water transport and reduced thermal losses. Subsequent optical path simulations using TracePro74 software verified that the sawtooth light-trapping design of the wood substrate increased multiple light reflections and absorption (compared to a flat structure), enhancing light absorption capabilities. The sawtooth interface also enlarged the evaporation area, further boosting evaporation performance. The cleverly designed evaporator exhibited an evaporation rate of 1.722 kg m-2 h-1 and an efficiency of 83.1% under 1 sun irradiation. Additionally, after applying polydimethylsiloxane to the single surface of the photothermal hydrogel for low surface energy treatment, the resulting Janus structure demonstrated asymmetric wettability that prevented salt ions from accumulating on the irradiated interface. After 8 h of continuous evaporation in saline water (10 wt %), only slight salt crystallization occurred at the edges. The evaporator maintained long-term stability during a 15 day cyclic test, and the produced freshwater fully met the relevant drinking water standards. The components of the evaporator are characterized by simple fabrication, low cost, and eco-friendliness, offering significant application potential in the global context of energy conservation and emission reduction initiatives.

High-Performance Visible-to-SWIR Photodetector Based on the Layered WS2 Heterojunction with Light-Trapping Pyramidal Black Germanium.

This study presents a layered transition metal dichalcogenide/black germanium (b-Ge) heterojunction photodetector that exhibits superior performance across a broad spectrum of wavelengths spanning from visible (vis) to shortwave infrared (SWIR). The photodetector includes a thin layer of b-Ge, which is created by wet etching of germanium (Ge) wafer to form submicrometer pyramidal structures. On top of this b-Ge layer, the WS2 thin film is deposited using pulsed laser deposition. In comparison to conventional germanium, b-Ge absorbs about 25% more light between 850 and 1750 nm wavelengths. The WS2/b-Ge photodetector has a peak photoresponsivity of 0.65 A/W, which is more than twice the photoresponsivity of the WS2/Ge photodetector at 1540 nm. Additionally, it shows better responsivity and response speed compared with other similar state-of-the-art photodetectors. Such an improvement in the performance of the device is credited to the light-trapping effect enabled by the germanium pyramids. Theoretical simulations employing the finite-difference time-domain technique help validate the concept. This novel photodetector holds promise for efficient detection of light across the vis to SWIR spectrum.

Influence of photothermal nanomaterials localization within the electrospun membrane structure on purification of saline oily wastewater based on photothermal vacuum membrane distillation.

Today, synergistic combination of special nanomaterials (NMs) and electrospinning technique has emerged as a promising strategy to address both water scarcity and energy concerns through the development of photothermal membranes for wastewater purification and desalination. This work was organized to provide a new perspective on membrane design for photothermal vacuum membrane distillation (PVMD) through optimizing membrane performance by varying the localization of photothermal NMs. Poly(vinylidene fluoride) omniphobic photothermal membranes were prepared by localizing graphene oxide nanosheets (GO NSh) (1) on the surface (0.2 wt%), (2) within the nanofibers structure (10 wt%) or (3) in both positions. Considering the case 1, after 7 min exposure to the 1 sun intensity light, the highest temperature (∼93.5 °C) was recorded, which is assigned to the accessibility of GO NSh upon light exposure. The case 3 yielded to a small reduction in surface temperature (∼90.4 °C) compared to the case 1, indicating no need to localize NMs within the nanofibers structure when they are localized on the surface. The other extreme belonged to the case 2 with the lowest temperature of ∼71.3 °C, which is consistent with the less accessibility of GO NSh during irradiation. It was demonstrated that the accessibility of photothermal NMs plays more pronounced role in the membrane surface temperature compared to the light trapping. However, benefiting from higher surface temperature during PVMD due to enhanced accessibility of photothermal NMs is balanced out by decrease in the permeate flux (case 1: 1.51 kg/m2 h and case 2: 1.83 kg/m2 h) due to blocking some membrane surface pores by the binder. A trend similar to that for flux was also followed by the efficiency. Additionally, no change in rejection was observed for different GO NSh localizations.

Strong Covalent Coupling in Vertically Layered SnSe2/PTAA Heterojunctions Enabled High Performance Inorganic-Organic Hybrid Photodetectors.

Controllable large-scale integration of two-dimensional (2D) materials with organic semiconductors and the realization of strong coupling between them still remain challenging. Herein, we demonstrate a wafer-scale, vertically layered SnSe2/PTAA heterojunction array with high light-trapping ability via a low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy method and a facile spin-coating process. Conductive probe atomic force microscopy (CP-AFM) measurements reveal strong rectification and photoresponse behavior in the individual SnSe2 nanosheet/PTAA heterojunction. Theoretical analysis demonstrates that vertically layered SnSe2/PTAA heterojunctions exhibit stronger C-Se covalent coupling than that of the conventional tiled type, which could facilitate more efficient charge transfer. Benefiting from these advantages, the SnSe2/PTAA heterojunction photodetectors with an optimized PTAA concentration show high performance, including a responsivity of 41.02 A/W, an external quantum efficiency of 1.31 × 104%, and high uniformity. The proposed approach for constructing large-scale 2D inorganic-organic heterostructures represents an effective route to fabricate high-performance broadband photodetectors for integrated optoelectronic systems.

Ultrathin (∼30 µm) flexible monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem solar cell.

The efficiency of rigid perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells has reached 33.9%. However, there has been no report on flexible perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells due to the challenge of overcoming the poor light absorption of ultrathin silicon bottom cells while maintaining their mechanical flexibility. Herein, we report the first demonstration of the perovskite/silicon tandem solar cell based on flexible ultrathin silicon. We show that reducing the wafer thicknesses and feature sizes of the light-trapping textures can significantly improve the flexibility of silicon without sacrificing light utilization. In addition, the capping of the perovskite top cells can further improve the device's mechanical durability by shifting the neutral plane toward the silicon surface that is prone to fracture. Finally, the resulting ultrathin (∼30 µm) flexible perovskite/silicon tandem solar cell achieves a certified stabilized efficiency of 22.8% with an extremely high power-to-weight ratio of 3.12 W g-1. Moreover, the flexible tandems exhibit remarkable bending durability, maintaining 98.2% of their initial performance after 3000 bending cycles at a radius of only 1 cm.

Uncooled Broadband Photodetection via Light Trapping in Conformal PtTe2-Silicon Nanopillar Heterostructures.

Dirac semimetals have demonstrated significant attraction in the field of optoelectronics due to their unique bandgap structure and high carrier mobility. Combining them with classical semiconductor materials to form heterojunctions enables broadband optoelectronic conversion at room temperature. However, the low light absorption of layered Dirac semimetals substantially limits the device's responsivity in the infrared band. Herein, a three-dimensional (3D) heterostructure, composed of silicon nanopillars (SiNPs) and a conformal PtTe2 film, is proposed and demonstrated to enhance the photoresponsivity for uncooled broadband detection. The light trapping effect in the 3D heterostructure efficiently promotes the interaction between light and PtTe2, while also enhancing the light absorption efficiency of silicon, which enables the enhancement of the device responsivity across a broadband spectrum. Experimentally, the PtTe2-SiNPs heterojunction device demonstrates excellent photoelectric conversion behavior across the visible, near-infrared, and long-wave infrared (LWIR) bands, with its responsivity demonstrating an order-of-magnitude improvement compared to the counterparts with planar silicon heterojunctions. Under 11 µm laser irradiation, the noise equivalent power (NEP) can reach 1.76 nW·Hz-1/2 (@1 kHz). These findings offer a strategic approach to the design and fabrication of high-performance broadband photodetectors based on Dirac semimetals.

Innovative Strategies for Photons Management on Ultrathin Silicon Solar Cells.

Silicon (Si), the eighth most common element in the known universe by mass and widely applied in the industry of electronics chips and solar cells, rarely emerges as a pure element in the Earth's crust. Optimizing its manufacturing can be crucial in the global challenge of reducing the cost of renewable energy modules and implementing sustainable development goals in the future. In the industry of solar cells, this challenge is stimulating studies of ultrathin Si-based architectures, which are rapidly attracting broad attention. Ultrathin solar cells require up to two orders of magnitude less Si than conventional solar cells, and owning to a flexible nature, they are opening applications in different industries that conventional cells do not yet serve. Despite these attractive factors, a difficulty in ultrathin Si solar cells is overcoming the weak light absorption at near-infrared wavelengths. The primary goal in addressing this problem is scaling up cost-effective and innovative textures for anti-reflection and light-trapping with shallower depth junctions, which can offer similar performances to traditional thick modules. This review provides an overview of this area of research, discussing this field both as science and engineering and highlighting present progress and future outlooks.

Efficient Photothermal Catalytic Oxidation Enabled by Three-Dimensional Nanochannel Substrates.

Photothermal catalysis exhibits promising prospects to overcome the shortcomings of high-energy consumption of traditional thermal catalysis and the low efficiency of photocatalysis. However, there is still a challenge to develop catalysts with outstanding light absorption capability and photothermal conversion efficiency for the degradation of atmospheric pollutants. Herein, we introduced the Co3O4 layer and Pt nanoclusters into the three-dimensional (3D) porous membrane through the atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique, leading to a Pt/Co3O4/AAO monolithic catalyst. The 3D ordered nanochannel structure can significantly enhance the solar absorption capacity through the light-trapping effect. Therefore, the embedded Pt/Co3O4 catalyst can be rapidly heated and the O2 adsorbed on the Pt clusters can be activated to generate sufficient O2- species, exhibiting outstanding activity for the diverse VOCs (toluene, acetone, and formaldehyde) degradation. Optical characterization and simulation calculation confirmed that Pt/Co3O4/AAO exhibited state-of-the-art light absorption and a notable localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect. In situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectrometry (in situ DRIFTS) studies demonstrated that light irradiation can accelerate the conversion of intermediates during toluene and acetone oxidation, thereby inhibiting byproduct accumulation. Our finding extends the application of AAO's optical properties in photothermal catalytic degradation of air pollutants.

Spectral sensitivity of click beetles (Coleoptera: Elateridae) and their responses to light stimuli in laboratory and field experiments.

With increasingly fewer insecticides registered to control the larvae of pest click beetles (Coleoptera: Elateridae), integrative beetle management, including pheromone- and light-based trapping of adult beetles, must be explored as an alternative strategy. Here, we analyzed the spectral sensitivity and color preference of 9 elaterids across 6 genera in electrophysiological recordings and in behavioral bioassays. In electroretinogram recordings (ERGs), dark-adapted beetles were exposed to narrow wavebands of light in 10-nm increments from 330 to 650 nm. All beetles proved most sensitive to green (515-538 nm) and ultraviolet (UV) light (~360 nm). In 4-choice bioassay arenas with 3 light emitting diodes (LEDs; green [525 nm], blue [470 nm], red [655 nm]) and a dark control as test stimuli, beetles discriminated between test stimuli, being preferentially attracted to green and blue LEDs. In field experiments, Vernon pitfall traps fitted with a green, blue or white LED captured significantly more male and female Agriotes lineatus and A. obscurus than dark control traps. When traps were baited with green or blue LEDs at light intensities that differed by 10-fold, the traps baited with higher light intensity lures captured numerically more beetles but trap catch data in accordance with light intensity did not differ statistically. Light-based trapping may be a viable tool for monitoring elaterid species known not to have pheromones.

Numerical Study on Overcoming the Light-Harvesting Limitation of Lead-Free Cs2AgBiBr6 Double Perovskite Solar Cell Using Moth-Eye Broadband Antireflection Layer.

Lead-free Cs2AgBiBr6 double perovskite has emerged as a promising new-generation photovoltaic, due to its non-toxicity, long carrier lifetime, and low exciton binding energies. However, the low power conversion efficiency, due to the high indirect bandgap (≈2 eV), is a challenge that must be overcome and acts as an obstacle to commercialization. Herein, to overcome the limitations through the light trapping strategy, we analyzed the performance evaluation via FDTD simulation when applying the moth-eye broadband antireflection (AR) layer on top of a Cs2AgBiBr6 double perovskite cell. A parabola cone structure was used as a moth-eye AR layer, and an Al2O3 (n: 1.77), MgF2 (n: 1.38), SiO2 (n: 1.46), and ZnO (n: 1.9) were selected as investigation targets. The simulation was performed assuming that the IQE was 100% and when the heights of Al2O3, MgF2, SiO2, and ZnO were 500, 350, 250, and 450 nm, which are the optimal conditions, respectively, the maximum short-circuit current density improved 41, 46, 11.7, and 15%, respectively, compared to the reference cell. This study is meaningful and innovative in analyzing how the refractive index of a moth-eye antireflection layer affects the light trapping within the cell under broadband illumination until the NIR region.

Field evaluation of a new suction light trap for the capture of phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae), vectors of leishmaniasis.

Phlebotomine sand flies are crepuscular and nocturnal small dipteran insects in the family Psychodidae. Several disease agents, including Leishmania parasites, are transmitted to humans and other vertebrate hosts by the bite of an infected female sand fly. As part of leishmaniasis surveillance programs, light traps have been routinely used in sand fly collections. In this context, new trapping devices are always being required to improve vector monitoring. Here, the efficiency of a new suction light trap, named Silva suction trap or SS trap, was field evaluated in collecting sand flies. Two SS traps, one with green (520 nm, 15,000 mcd) and the other with white (wide spectrum, 18,000 mcd) LEDs, and one CDC-type trap were deployed in a rural forested environment. A total of 4686 phlebotomine sand flies were captured. The most frequent species were females of the Ps. Chagasi series (77.8%) followed by males of Ps. wellcomei (11.6%), Nyssomyia whitmani (3.3%), and Bichromomyia flaviscutellata (2.4%). The CDC-type light trap collected 101.9 ± 20.89 sand flies and 14 species, followed by the white-baited SS trap (87.78 ± 16.36, 14), and the green-baited SS trap (70.61 ± 14.75, 15), but there were no statistically significant differences among traps. A discussion on the considerable advantages of the use of SS traps over CDC traps is included. In this study, the Silva suction trap proved to be efficient and can be an alternative to CDC traps for monitoring adult phlebotomine sand fly populations.

Beyond ray optics absorption of light in CsPbBr3perovskite nanowire arrays studied experimentally and with wave optics modelling.

We study experimentally and with wave optics modelling the absorption of light in CsPbBr3perovskite nanowire arrays fabricated into periodic pores of an anodized aluminum oxide matrix, for nanowire diameters from 30 to 360 nm. First, we find that all the light that couples into the array can be absorbed by the nanowires at sufficient nanowire length. This behavior is in strong contrast to the expectation from a ray-optics description of light where, for normally incident light, only the rays that hit the cross-section of the nanowires can be absorbed. In that case, the absorption in the sample would be limited to the area fill factor of nanowires in the hexagonal array, which ranges from 13% to 58% for the samples that we study. Second, we find that the absorption saturates already at a nanowire length of 1000-2000 nm, making these perovskite nanowires promising for absorption-based applications such as solar cells and photodetectors. The absorption shows a strong diameter dependence, but for all diameters the transmission is less than 24% already at a nanowire length of 500 nm. For some diameters, the absorption exceeds that of a calculated thin film with 100% coverage. Our analysis indicates that the strong absorption in these nanowires originates from light-trapping induced by the out-of-plane disorder due to random axial position of each nanowire within its pore in the matrix.

Black Phosphorus Molybdenum Disulfide Midwave Infrared Photodiodes with Broadband Absorption-Increasing Metasurfaces.

Black phosphorus (BP) has been established as a promising material for room temperature midwave infrared (MWIR) photodetectors. However, many of its attractive optoelectronic properties are often observable only at smaller film thicknesses, which inhibits photodetector absorption and performance. In this work, we show that metasurface gratings increase the absorption of BP-MoS2 heterojunction photodiodes over a broad range of wavelengths in the MWIR. We designed, fabricated, and characterized metasurface gratings that increase absorption at selected wavelengths or broad spectral ranges. We evaluated the broadband metasurfaces by measuring the room temperature responsivity and specific detectivity of BP-MoS2 photodiodes at multiple MWIR wavelengths. Our results show that broadband metasurface gratings are a scalable approach for boosting the performance of BP photodiodes over large spectral ranges.

Anti-reflection effect of high refractive index polyurethane with different light trapping structures on solar cells.

The textured surfaces to reduce light reflectivity by using acid-alkali chemical etching and SiNx films are generally necessary for commercial crystalline silicon solar cells. However, this etching process requires a large amount of environmentally harmful acid-alkali solution and has limited options for texture and size. To overcome these disadvantages, a new anti-reflection strategy is proposed in this study, which is using soft nanoimprint lithography to prepare the textured structures on the outside of the SiNx films. The polyurethane with a high refractive index of 1.64 is selected as the texture material, and different templates are selected to prepare it into different light trapping structures, including positive-inverted pyramids, inverted lace cones, and positive-inverted moth-eye nanostructures allowing for easy customization of the textured structures. The finite element simulation and experiments demonstrate that these light trapping structures have a wide spectrum anti-reflection performance in visible and near-infrared bands. With the back surface of the commercial passivated emitter rear contact (PERC) bi-facial solar cells as the imprint substrates, some light trapping structures can reduce the surface weighted average light reflectivity (Rw) at the band of 300-1200 nm from 18.31% to less than 10% and the optimal structures can reduce Rw to 8.71%. This anti-reflection strategy can also be applied to thin-film solar cells and crystalline silicon solar cells of other structures, such as HIT, Topcon, Perovskite/c-Si tandem, and so forth, which shows great development potential.

External-quantum-efficiency enhancement in quantum-dot solar cells with a Fabry-Perot light-trapping structure.

In this work, we have experimentally investigated the impact of light trapping on the performance of InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) solar cells. To increase the amount of absorbed near-infrared photons, we fabricated a thin-film QD solar cell with a backside mirror where the positions of the QD layers were matched with the intensity peaks of one of the Fabry-Perot (FP) resonances in this structure to enable enhanced QD absorption near 1192 nm. We demonstrate that the external quantum efficiency at a given FP resonance wavelength of such an InAs/GaAs-based QD solar cell can be increased by an order of magnitude over solar cells without FP resonance by optimally positioning the QD layers.

Optical engineering of PbS colloidal quantum dot solar cells via Fabry-Perot resonance and distributed Bragg reflectors.

A tradeoff between light absorption and charge transport is a well-known issue in PbS colloidal quantum dot (CQD) solar cells because the carrier diffusion length in PbS CQD films is comparable to the thickness of CQD film. We reduce the tradeoff between light absorption and charge transport by combining a Fabry-Perot (FP) resonator and a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR). A FP resonance is formed between the DBR and a dielectric-metal-dielectric film as a top transparent electrode. A SiO2-TiO2 multilayer is used to form a DBR. The FP resonance enhances light absorption near the resonant wavelength of the DBR without changing the CQD film thickness. The light absorption near the FP resonance wavelength is further boosted by coupling the FP resonance with the high reflectivity of the Ag-coated DBR. When the FP resonance and DBR are combined, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of PbS CQD solar cells increases by 54%. Moreover, the DBR assisted FP resonance enables a very thin PbS layer to absorb near infrared light four times more. The overall PCE of the thin PbS CQD solar cell increases by 24% without sacrificing the average visible transmittance (AVT). Our results show how to overcome the inherence problem of the CQD and develop a semi-transparent solar cell where the wavelength-selective absorption and the transparency for visible light are important.

Self-Healing Hydrogel Membrane Provides a Strategy for the Steady Production of Clean Water from Organic Wastewater.

When the typical solar-driven hydrogel water evaporator treats the organic sewage, the organic pollutants will be accumulated in the evaporator and affect the evaporation performance. This issue is resolved by using silver-disulfide bonding to fix the silver oxide/silver (Ag2O/Ag) nanoparticles inside the polyacrylamide-acrylic acid hydrogel, resulting in the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange and solar-driven water evaporation. Ag2O/Ag nanoparticles are a solar-thermal conversion material used to replace the traditional carbon material. On the one hand, the heterojunction structure of Ag2O/Ag enhances the separation ability of the photogenerated carriers, thereby increasing the photocatalytic efficiency. On the other hand, the surface of the nanoparticles is grafted with N, N'-bis(acryloyl) cystamine and becomes the crosslinking agent which is fixed in the hydrogel. Meanwhile, the inverted pyramid structure can be built at the surface of the hydrogel by soft imprinting technology. This kind of structure has excellent light trapping performance, which can increase the efficiency of Ag2O/Ag photocatalysis. Furthermore, the dynamic reversible coordination effect between Fe3+ and carboxyl realizes the self-healing capability of the hydrogel. Here are the properties of hydrogel: the fracture stress is 0.35 MPa, the fracture elongation is 1320%, the evaporation rate is 1.2 kg·m-2·h-1, and the rate of the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange is 96% in 3 h. This self-healing hydrogel membrane provides a strategy to steadily get clean water from organic sewage.

Fabrication of light trapping structures specialized for near-infrared light by nanoimprinting for the application to thin crystalline silicon solar cells.

Vehicle-integrated photovoltaics (VIPV) are gaining attention to realize a decarbonized society in the future, and the specifications for solar cells used in VIPV are predicated on a low cost, high efficiency, and the ability to be applied to curved surfaces. One way to meet these requirements is to make the silicon substrate thinner. However, thinner substrates result in lower near-infrared light absorption and lower efficiency. To increase light absorption, light trapping structures (LTSs) can be implemented. However, conventional alkali etched pyramid textures are not specialized for near-infrared light and are insufficient to improve near-infrared light absorption. Therefore, in this study, as an alternative to alkaline etching, we employed a nanoimprinting method that can easily fabricate submicron-sized LTSs on solar cells over a large area. In addition, as a master mold fabrication method with submicron-sized patterns, silica colloidal lithography was adopted. As a result, by controlling silica coverage, diameter of silica particles (D), and etching time (tet), the density, height, and size of LTSs could be controlled. At the silica coverage of 40%, D = 800 nm, and tet = 5 min, the reduction of reflectance below 65% at 1100 nm and the theoretical short-circuit current gain of 1.55 mA/cm2 was achieved.

Efficiency improvement of thin film solar cell using silver pyramids array and antireflective layer.

In recent years, plasmonics has been widely employed to improve light trapping in solar cells. Silver nanospheres have been used in several research works to improve the capability of solar absorption. In this paper, we use silver pyramid-shaped nanoparticles, a noble plasmonic nanoparticle, inside thin-film silicon and InP solar cells to increase light absorption compared to previously published topologies. The proposed structure consists of a TiO2 pyramid structure placed at the top of the surface working as an anti-reflective layer, silicon/indium phosphate as an absorption layer, silver pyramid-shaped nanoparticles incorporated inside the absorption layer, and an aluminum reflecting layer at the bottom. In this research, we used finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulation to model the thin-film solar cell (TFSC). Optimizing the shape and placement of the silver pyramids, we have achieved an efficiency of 17.08% and 18.58% using silicon and InP as the absorbing layers respectively, which is significantly better than previously reported studies. The open-circuit voltages are 0.58 V and 0.92 V respectively, which is the highest among other configurations. To conclude, the findings of this study laid the foundation to create an efficient thin-film solar cell utilizing the light-trapping mechanism of noble plasmonic nanoparticles.

Towards High-Efficiency Photon Trapping in Thin-Film Perovskite Solar Cells Using Etched Fractal Metadevices.

Reflective loss is one of the main factors contributing to power conversion efficiency limitation in thin-film perovskite solar cells. This issue has been tackled through several approaches, such as anti-reflective coatings, surface texturing, or superficial light-trapping metastructures. We report detailed simulation-based investigations on the photon trapping capabilities of a standard Methylammonium Lead Iodide (MAPbI3) solar cell, with its top layer conveniently designed as a fractal metadevice, to reach a reflection value R<0.1 in the visible domain. Our results show that, under certain architecture configurations, reflection values below 0.1 are obtained throughout the visible domain. This represents a net improvement when compared to the 0.25 reflection yielded by a reference MAPbI3 having a plane surface, under identical simulation conditions. We also present the minimum architectural requirements of the metadevice by comparing it to simpler structures of the same family and performing a comparative study. Furthermore, the designed metadevice presents low power dissipation and exhibits approximately similar behavior regardless of the incident polarization angle. As a result, the proposed system is a viable candidate for being a standard requirement in obtaining high-efficiency perovskite solar cells.
