Infrared Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cell for power generation and energy harvesting
Research Group:
Condensed Matter and Photonics
Dr M Kesaria, Prof G Min, Prof D Huffaker
Application Deadline:
30 April 2019
Limited energy resources and pressures of global warming require industry to reduce its net-energy or “carbon footprint”. Given that >60% of energy in manufacturing is wasted as heat has triggered interest in thermal-energy scavenging for temperatures.
