Abstract

Thermophotovoltaic conversion is a promising solid-state heat-to-electricity conversion technology. However, its current efficiency is poor. Optimizing the properties of selective thermal emitter is the key to higher efficiency and our analysis shows that 70% of Carnot efficiency is achievable by an optimum emitter design.
