Advancement in thermophotovoltaic technology and nanoparticle incorporation for power generation
Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) technology harvests electricity from a source of thermal radiation and at current, TPV cells can achieve conversion efficiency of more than 40%. The construct of the TPV system is relatively complex than the conventional solar cell in which the TPV has two critical component...

Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) technology harvests electricity from a source of thermal radiation and at current, TPV cells can achieve conversion efficiency of more than 40%. The construct of the TPV system is relatively complex than the conventional solar cell in which the TPV has two critical components, specifically the absorber-emitter and filters, to help in enhancing the transfer of photons to the TPV cell for conversion. Despite its importance, works on the optimization of these components for an ideal TPV system are still lacking. This review examines previous studies on the TPV structure, and details extensive techniques to improve current designs of the TPV systems - notably through the use of textured absorbers, selective emitters and different types of filters. Inevitably, the selection of materials and designs of the absorber-emitter are essential in enhancing the TPV performance.
