Front-electrode design for efficient near-field thermophotovoltaics

© 2019 SPIE. In near-field TPV cells, the effects of the necessary front electrode are considered and shown to be of great importance. The electrode tradeoff between required high dc conductivity but low photonic absorption becomes detrimental for the efficiency in the very near field, as the therma...
