Abstract


The thermoradiative diode (TRD) is the symmetric counterpart to the photovoltaic solar cell that generates power via the net emission rather than absorption of light. While the theoretical limits for power generation are promising in the radiative limit, current experimental demonstrations remain far from that limit. Here we present the results from recent III-V TRDs developed by UNSW, and the application of TRDs to augment power generation via waste-heat recovery for satellites.The thermoradiative diode (TRD) is the symmetric counterpart to the photovoltaic solar cell that generates power via the net emission rather than absorption of light.
