MIT Open Access Articles
Here, we report experimental measurements of STEGs with a peak efficiency of 9.6% at an optically concentrated normal solar irradiance of 211 kW m-2, and a system efficiency of 7.4% after
All-day continuous electrical power generator by solar heating and
These results provide a novel approach to unitizing the solar heating and out space cooling through the selective absorber/emitter, generating 24-h continuous electrical power for
Solar Energy: The Third Way by Gang Chen
Professor Gang Chen gives an overview of the two current methods of generating electricity from sunlight. He then turns to the potential of using the thermoelectric effect to harness solar energy for
How a young researcher is changing the conversation about climate
Shi Chen''s solar power modelling has earned international accolades. The postdoctoral researcher says that deploying solar in Asia and the Middle East first could speed up...
Nighttime electric power generation at a density of 50 mW/m
Here, we construct a device, which incorporates a thermoelectric generator that harvests electricity from the temperature difference between the PV cell and the ambient surrounding.
