  • Abstract
    A new silicon photovoltaic cell has been developed for use in a thermophotovoltaic (TPV) energy converter. Attention has been paid to minimizing parasitic absorptance and optimizing electrical performance. Energy conversion efficiencies of 26 percent in TPV operation were measured at an output power density of 10 W/cm2.
