‘Squeezing’ near-field thermal emission for ultra-efficient high-power thermophotovoltaic conversion
We numerically demonstrate near-field planar ThermoPhotoVoltaic systems with very high efficiency and output power, at large vacuum gaps. Example performances include: at 1200 °K emitter temperature, output power density 2 W/cm[superscript 2] with ~47% efficiency at 300 nm vacuum gap; at 2100 °K, 24...
