Funded Activity Summary

Hot carrier solar cells: new approaches and demonstration of devices. The hot carrier solar cell aims to capture a large fraction of energy from solar photons normally lost as heat. This will give much higher efficiencies, and allow fabrication of cheap high efficiency devices. This can be achieved by modifying the way electrons lose their energy as heat, by blocking the lattice vibrations which cause this loss.
