[HTML][HTML] High efficiency rare-earth emitter for thermophotovoltaic applications

ES Sakr, Z Zhou, P Bermel - Applied Physics Letters, 2014 - pubs.aip.org
In this work, we propose a rare-earth-based ceramic thermal emitter design that can boost
thermophotovoltaic (TPV) efficiencies significantly without cold-side filters at a temperature …

Integrated photonic crystal selective emitter for thermophotovoltaics

Z Zhou, O Yehia, P Bermel - Journal of Nanophotonics, 2016 - spiedigitallibrary.org
Converting blackbody thermal radiation to electricity via thermophotovoltaics (TPV) is
inherently inefficient. Photon recycling using cold-side filters offers potentially improved …
