Carbon-Nanotube Based Thermoelectrical Paste for Enhancing Solar Cell Effciency

A super-passive cooling technique based on a thermal paste is proposed for PV efficiency enhancement in elevated temperature conditions. A mixture between carbon nanotubes and graphene having a promising Seebeck coefficient is chosen. An overall enhancement in efficiency by around 58% was reached wh...
