Journal ArticleDOI
High-efficiency solar-thermophotovoltaic system equipped with a monolithic planar selective absorber/emitter
TL;DR: In this paper, a planar absorber/emitter is incorporated for controlling the thermal radiation spectrum in a solar thermal-thermophotovoltaic (STPV) system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unidirectional radiative heat transfer with a spectrally selective planar absorber/emitter for high-efficiency solar thermophotovoltaic systems
TL;DR: In this article, a high-efficiency solar thermophotovoltaic (STPV) system has been demonstrated using spectrally selective planar absorber/emitter systems and a GaSb TPV cell.
Journal ArticleDOI
Densities of states and band widths of excitons in anthracene microcrystallites embedded in PMMA
Atsuo Matsui,Ken-ichi Mizuno,Osamu Nishi,Yoshihiro Matsushima,Makoto Shimizu,Takenari Goto,M. Takeshima +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new technique to determine the k = 0 components in the density of states (DOS) and band widths of excitons in microcrystallites is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of thermal stability in spectrally selective few-layer metallo-dielectric structures for solar thermophotovoltaics
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal stability of spectrally selective few-layer metallo-dielectric structures is evaluated to analyze their potential as absorber and emitter materials in solar thermophotovoltaic (STPV) systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectrally shaping high-temperature radiators for thermophotovoltaics using Mo-HfO2 trilayer-on-substrate structures
Etienne Blandre,Makoto Shimizu,Asaka Kohiyama,Hiroo Yugami,Pierre Olivier Chapuis,Rodolphe Vaillon +5 more
TL;DR: An in-depth analysis shows that the trilayer-on-substrate structure can be optimized for providing the broadband large emission with a steep cutoff required for mitigating photoconversion losses.
