摘要(Abstract):
肖克利-奎伊瑟(SQ)极限为常规半导体光伏器件的效率设置了上限。热光伏系统(由热源、光谱选择性辐射器和低禁带光伏电池组成)可以作为一种替代方案,以突破这一理论效率的限制。为提高热光伏系统的发电效率,基于超材料设计了一个多层十字架结构的辐射器,对其几何尺寸优化后,该辐射器展示出良好的窄带发射光谱。这既减少了光伏电池禁带以下的低能光子损失,又避免了高能光子被吸收后加剧晶格振动而造成热损失。将该辐射器用于热光伏系统可以实现与禁带能量为0.6 e V的In0.69Ga0.31As电池完美匹配。通过对该辐射器与光伏电池联用系统的详细理论计算得到:在1 117℃下可以实现发电效率突破SQ极限(41%);并且随着辐射器温度升高,发电效率会进一步提高,在2 000 K时电池输出效率高达46.75%;此外,该窄带辐射器在0°~60°内具有良好的角度不敏感性以及极化不敏感性。
