Semiconductor-Dielectric-Metal Solar Absorbers with High Spectral Selectivity
Eric J. Tervo, Myles A. Steiner
An ideal solar thermal absorber has a sharp transition between high and low absorptance at the wavelength where the blackbody emissive power begins to exceed the solar irradiance.…
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…
Coupled Charge and Radiation Transport Processes in Thermophotovoltaic and Thermoradiative Cells
William A. Callahan, Dudong Feng, Zhuomin M. Zhang +3
Accurate modeling of charge transport and both thermal and luminescent radiation is crucial to the understanding and design of radiative thermal energy converters. Charge carrier d…
