Abstract
A nanostructure is provided for converting solar energy into thermal energy. The nanostructure can include a metal layer and an anti-reflective layer on the metal layer. The anti-reflective layer is positioned such that sunlight passes through the anti-reflective layer and absorbed by the metal layer, thereby resulting in an equilibrium temperature for the dielectric and metal layer system above 400 Kelvin (K). The metal layer can have a thickness of at least 100 nanometers (nm) to prohibit light transmission through the layer and the anti-reflective layer can be composed of a dielectric material and can have a thickness between 20 nm and 200 nm.
