Abstract

Thermophotovoltaics (TPV) allow one to harvest excess heat as electricity. While higher temperature heat allows TPV to operate more efficiently, the materials used in the emitter are often limited in their operating temperatures and atmospheres. In this study, we specifically focus on designing a multilayer system consisting of compatible oxides, capable of reaching high temperatures. We then provide materials characterization data to support this approach and predict the final performance of a TPV system using this approach.
