Solar electricity with photon-enhanced thermionic emission (PETE)

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Photon-enhanced thermionic emission combines both photonic and thermal excitation to emit electrons from a semiconductor cathode. Theoretical conversion efficiency exceeds 45% at 1,000 suns, and over 50% with a second stage thermal converter.
