A Planarized Thermophotovoltaic Emitter With Idealized Selective Emission

Compared with conventional solar cells, thermophotovoltaics (TPV) can be more efficient and, thus, exceeds the detailed balance efficiency limit. In particular, the emitter of TPV is a critical design since it determines whether the thermalization loss can be reduced and whether the sub-band-gap rad...
