MXene is promising in photothermal or photovoltaic conversion, while high-performance MXene metasurface solar absorbers based on simple and feasible structures are still lacking. This study aims to design a solar absorber with ultra-broadband absorption capability in the visible and near-infrared wavelength ranges based on the MXene nanoblock tetramer/silica film/MXene substrate structure. The average absorptivity of this proposed metasurface absorber is 96.9% in the wavelength range of 300–2500 nm covering the whole solar spectrum. The physics behind the high absorption results from multiple-mode hybridization in different resonant bands, including the coupling between the surface plasmons, cavity resonances, and guided-mode resonances. The broadband and high-absorption performance remains stable under large-angle incidence and structural parameter variations with the average absorption above 90% in the whole wavelength region of interest. The calculated energy absorption ratio of the AM1.5 solar radiation spectrum can reach up to 96.3%, indicating low solar energy loss and efficient solar energy capture. In summary, these results provide great application prospects in the fields of photothermal and photovoltaic conversion.
