U.S. scientists have developed a thermophovoltaic cell that could be paired with inexpensive thermal storage to provide power on demand. The indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) thermophovoltaic cell absorbs most of the in-band radiation to generate electricity, while serving as a nearly perfect mirror.

Closing in on the theoretical maximum efficiency, devices for turning heat into electricity are edging closer to being practical for use on the grid, according to University of Michigan research.

Closing in on the theoretical maximum efficiency, devices for turning heat into electricity are edging closer to being practical for use on the grid, according to new research.

Breaking records for high-temperature stability, a new nanophotonic material could lead to more effective power generation and a host of novel opportunities for the management and conversion of thermal radiation.

Anything that gives off heat, whether it be the sun, a car engine, a furnace, or even a fireplace, is actually giving off energy that a new thermophotovoltaic invention can reportedly capture and [...]

The U.S. Department of Energy is backing a transparent solar sponge developed by a U-M-led team with a $3.1 million investment.

To decarbonize industrial heat—a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions—and advance a form of solar power that's cheaper to store, the Department of Energy is backing a transparent solar sponge with $3.1 million for further development by a University-of-Michigan-led team. A second
