TL;DR: In this article, an updated thermionic converter was established through the introduction of a graphene anode and an optical reflector, significantly decreasing the irreversible losses inside the device and enhancing the device performances.
Abstract: An updated thermionic converter was established through the introduction of a graphene anode and an optical reflector, significantly decreasing the irreversible losses inside the device and enhancing the device performances. At 1940 K, the maximum efficiency and power output density of the converter reached 76.6 % and 95.1 W c m − 2. The optimum performances of the proposed model were obviously better than those achieved using a graphene-anode thermionic converter without a reflector and a traditional thermionic converter with a metal anode. Importantly, the optimal regions of the key parameters were determined for the different temperatures of the heat source and the parametric selection criteria and design strategies for the proposed model are also provided. These are extremely important as they may facilitate the implementation of the device.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparative introduction on the operating mechanisms of spectral routing and spectral filtering schemes is given and recent progress on various color nanorouters based on metasurfaces, plasmonics, dielectric antennas is reviewed with a focus on the potential application in high-resolution imaging.
Abstract: Recent advances in low-dimensional materials and nanofabrication technologies have stimulated many breakthroughs in the field of nanophotonics such as metamaterials and plasmonics that provide efficient ways of light manipulation at a subwavelength scale. The representative structure-induced spectral engineering techniques have demonstrated superior design of freedom compared with natural materials such as pigment/dye. In particular, the emerging spectral routing scheme enables extraordinary light manipulation in both frequency-domain and spatial-domain with high-efficiency utilization of the full spectrum, which is critically important for various applications and may open up entirely new operating paradigms. In this review, a comparative introduction on the operating mechanisms of spectral routing and spectral filtering schemes is given and recent progress on various color nanorouters based on metasurfaces, plasmonics, dielectric antennas is reviewed with a focus on the potential application in high-resolution imaging. With a thorough analysis and discussion on the advanced properties and drawbacks of various techniques, this report is expected to provide an overview and vision for the future development and application of nanophotonic color (spectral) routing techniques.
