Multi-layer MoS2-Based Plasmonic Gold Nanowires at Near-Perfect Absorption for Energy Harvesting

One of the biggest challenges in relation to the modernistic vision of smart city technology is to provide confident autonomous energy, notably in terms of power storage. If you want to change an existing lifestyle, you cannot ignore the basic concepts collected from basic physics. The subject of Metamaterials stands for an important research area that can be explored and used to come up with unparalleled ideas about the properties and functions that are completely absent from natural materials. In contrast to other bold technologies, combining a simple layered surface with appropriate material selection makes it possible to pattern and manufacture new types of solar cells that work in a wide frequency range. In this article, we propose a simple method to boost the coupling interaction between metallic gold nanowires with multiple MoS₂ layers. The innovation of this work is that the thickness layer changes have great stability in the influence of the absorption performance and electric field distribution in the visible light and near-infrared spectra. Therefore, this new design can be seen as very important in many fields from sensing to solar cell applications.
