Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201470316-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Alternative plasmonic materials can withstand extreme temperatures, opening new frontiers in energy‐harvesting applications. A metamaterial based on titanium nitride, described by J. G. Guan, A. V. Kildishev, and co‐workers on page 7959, efficiently converts sunlight into heat, achieving temperatures greater than 1000 °C and it re‐radiates this energy in a narrow bandwidth for optimal absorption by a photocell. The near perfect absorption of the metasurface coupled with its thermal stability enables practical next generation solar thermo‐photovoltaic devices. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh2sx11hpm" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
