Effect of top metallic contacts on energy conversion performances for near-field thermophotovoltaics
Youssef Jeyar, Kevin Austry, Minggang Luo +5
The design of metallic contact grids on the front side of thermophotovoltaic cells is critical since it can cause significant optical and electrical resistive losses, particularly…
Design of an indium arsenide cell for near-field thermophotovoltaic devices
Daniel Milovich, Juan Villa, Elisa Antolin +4
An indium arsenide photovoltaic cell with gold front contacts is designed for use in a near-field thermophotovoltaic (NF-TPV) device consisting of millimeter-size surfaces separate…
Harnessing near-field thermal photons with efficient photovoltaic conversion
C Lucchesi, D. Cakiroglu, J. -P Perez +4
A huge amount of thermal energy is available close to material surfaces in radiative and non-radiative states, which can be useful for matter characterization or for energy devices…
Thermionic-enhanced near-field thermophotovoltaics
Alejandro Datas, Rodolphe Vaillon
Solid-state heat-to-electrical power converters are thermodynamic engines that use fundamental particles, such as electrons or photons, as working fluids. Virtually all commerciall…
External luminescence and photon recycling in near-field thermophotovoltaics
John DeSutter, Rodolphe Vaillon, Mathieu Francoeur
The importance of considering near-field effects on photon recycling and spontaneous emission in a thermophotovoltaic device is investigated. Fluctuational electrodynamics is used…
Impacts of propagating, frustrated and surface modes on radiative, electrical and thermal losses in nanoscale-gap thermophotovoltaic power generators
Michael P. Bernardi, Olivier Dupré, Etienne Blandre +3
The impacts of radiative, electrical and thermal losses on the power output enhancement of nanoscale-gap thermophotovoltaic (nano-TPV) power generators consisting of a gallium anti…
