Light scattering control with correlated disorder enabling new solar cell designs

For the successful large-scale deployment of solar energy conversion technologies—whether for generating electrical power or facilitating chemical processes—achieving effective broadband control of light-scattering is essential.[1] Managing how light interacts with materials is crucial for enhancing the efficiency and functionality of solar devices. One powerful approach to achieving this control is through the design of metasurfaces, which are engineered materials with tailored optical properties.
