This analysis demonstrates increased electrical power density in a novel heterojunction thermoradiative design, suggesting improved efficiency.
The heterojunction thermoradiative design introduced here has a recombination-photon emission layer in its junction, as does the homojunction thermoradiative device. However, the heterojunction structure has this layer separated from the energy source by semiconductor legs. This allows the Thompson effect to occur and results in a significant increase in electrical power density capabilities.
