摘要:
We have theoretically shown thermophotovoltaic (TPV) energy conversion with Ga0.84In0.16As0.14Sb0.86/InAs0.91Sb0.09 tandem cell, for which both subcells have the same lattice matched to GaSb substrate and can be experimentally fabricated in a high quality. Under the illumination of blackbody-like thermal spectra, the doping profiles of this device should be controlled as ${N}_{d{(}{a}{)}} = {12}$ (6) $\times 10^{{17}}$ cm-3 for top subcell while 1018(17) cm-3 for bottom one, and energy conversion efficiency superior to 13% is expectable for radiator temperature ranging from 1700 to 2000 K, showing the enhancement in both efficiency and power density output when comparing with those for Ga0.84In0.16As0.14Sb0.86 single-junction cell. We have thus demonstrated a new type of experimentally available dual-junction cell to boost the thermal radiation conversion of TPV system. © 1963-2012 IEEE.
