Sub-0.6 eV Inverted Metamorphic GaInAs Cells Grown on InP and GaAs Substrates for Thermophotovoltaics and Laser Power Conversion
Kevin L. Schulte, Daniel J. Friedman, Titilope Dada +6
We present inverted metamorphic Ga0.3In0.7As photovoltaic converters with sub-0.60 eV bandgaps grown on InP and GaAs substrates. The compositionally graded buffers in these devices…
Efficient and Scalable GaInAs Thermophotovoltaic Devices
Eric J. Tervo, Ryan M. France, Daniel J. Friedman +15
Thermophotovoltaics are promising solid-state energy converters for a variety of applications such as grid-scale energy storage, concentrating solar-thermal power, and waste heat r…
Near-field radiative heat transfer between irregularly shaped dielectric particles modeled with the discrete system Green's function method
Lindsay P. Walter, Eric J. Tervo, Mathieu Francoeur
Near-field radiative heat transfer (NFRHT) between irregularly shaped dielectric particles made of SiO2 and morphology characterized by Gaussian random spheres is studied. Particle…
Thermophotovoltaic Efficiency of 40%
Alina LaPotin, Kevin L. Schulte, Myles A. Steiner +10
We report the fabrication and measurement of thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cells with efficiencies of >40%, which is a record high TPV efficiency and the first experimental demonstratio…
Spatial profiles of photon chemical potential in near-field thermophotovoltaic cells
Dudong Feng, Eric J. Tervo, Dragica Vasileska +3
Emitted photons stemming from the radiative recombination of electron-hole pairs carry chemical potential in radiative energy converters. This luminescent effect can substantially…
Solar Thermoradiative-Photovoltaic Energy Conversion
Eric J. Tervo, William A. Callahan, Eric S. Toberer +2
We propose a solar thermal energy conversion system consisting of a solar absorber, a thermoradiative cell or negative illumination photodiode, and a photovoltaic cell. Because it…
