Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) devices convert thermal radiation directly into electricity using semiconductor diodes and have a variety of uses from waste heat recovery to energy storage to primary power conversion. Recent results have demonstrated promising cells nearing and surpassing 30% conversion efficiency. As TPV cells continue to increase in efficiency, they become attractive for a wider range of applications. Their efficiencies must be quantified in a standardized fashion to compare results accurately across research groups. Here, we outline and quantify the most important characteristics of an accurate and precise TPV efficiency measurement. Using a custom-built measurement apparatus that takes these characteristics into account, we report 19 cells with greater than 30% conversion efficiency and 2 cells with greater than 35% conversion efficiency. This confirms that our reported cell efficiencies are not simply those of hero cells but rather of a distribution of cells that can be produced in a consistent, high-quality process. |
