description | [Image: see text] Metasurfaces, artificially engineered surfaces comprised of subwavelength resonators, show promise for realizing a new generation of optical materials and devices. However, current metasurface architectures suffer from environmental degradation, a limited spectral range, and a lack of scalability. Here, we demonstrate a novel large-area embedded metasurface architecture that is environmentally robust and capable of a spectrally selective absorption of greater than 80% spanning from 330 to 2740 nm. These fully encapsulated metasurfaces leverage the capabilities of colloidal plasmonic nanoparticles with various crystallinities, materials, shapes, and sizes to access a larger spectral range and allow for control of nanoscale spatial losses and subsequent heat generation within the constituent elements of the metasurface. Through the selection of material, particle size, and shape, these metasurfaces can be designed across the ultraviolet (UV) to short-wave infrared (SWIR) region for various hot-electron, photodetection, photocatalysis, and photothermal processes. |
