A Spanish-Italian research group has developed a solid-state thermal-to-electric energy converter based on hybrid thermionic-photovoltaics (TIPV) for different applications. It consists of a ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Heat energy can be converted into electricity with very high efficiency through a temperature-induced electron flow process known as thermionic emission. The basic operating ...
A renewable energy project has received funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). Pursuing new approaches to harvesting thermal energy using nanodiamond, it has been ...
Typically, if you want to convert solar energy into electrical energy, you use either photovoltaic (PV) cells, or you use the sunlight to create steam to turn a turbine. Both of these methods are well ...
