Hot-carrier photocatalysts with energy-selective contacts based on quantum wells and dots
Shuanglong Han, Zhiqiang Fan, Ousi Pan +5
In this paper, we simulate the function of hot-carrier photocatalysts (HCPCs) with quantum well and quantum dot energy-selective contacts (ESCs) in the water-splitting reaction. Th…
A new succinct proof on the equivalence of the Nernst equation and the vanishing heat capacity at absolute zero temperature
Shanhe Su, Jincan Chen
By starting from the Euler chain rule of three thermodynamic quantities, it is proved that both the Nernst equation and the vanishing heat capacity at absolute zero temperature are…
The effect of space charge on photon-enhanced thermionic emission in the presence of the bidirectional discharge
Xinqiao Lin, Ousi Pan, Zhimin Yang +3
The bidirectional space charge effects in photon-enhanced thermionic emission (PETE) devices are investigated systematically. First, we precisely determine the carrier concentratio…
Efficiency bounds for bipartite information-driven thermodynamic systems
Shihao Xia, Shuanglong Han, Ousi Pan +3
This study introduces a novel approach to derive a lower bound for the entropy production rate of a subsystem by utilizing the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality. It extends to establishing…
Performance optimization of a finite-time quantum tricycle
Jingyi Chen, Shihao Xia, Jincan Chen +1
We establish a finite-time external field-driven quantum tricycle model. Within the framework of slow driving perturbation, the perturbation expansion of heat in powers of time can…
