Abstract:
The present invention relates to embodiments of TPV cell structures based on carbon nanotube and nanowire materials. One embodiment according to the present invention is a p-n junction carbon nanotube/nanowire TPV cell, which is formed by p-n junction wires. A second embodiment according to the present invention is a carbon nanotube/nanowire used as a p-type (or n-type), and using bulk material as the other complementary type to a form p-n junction TPV cell. A third embodiment according to the present invention uses a controllable Schottky barrier height between a one-dimensional nanowire and a metal contact to form the built-in potential of the TPV cells.
