New Solar Energy Conversion Process Could Boost Efficiency
Green Car Congress
AUGUST 2, 2010
Stanford engineers have developed a process—photon-enhanced thermionic emission, PETE—that simultaneously uses the light and heat of the sun to generate electricity in a way that could make solar power production more than twice as efficient as existing methods. (a) a) Energy diagram of the PETE process. b) One possible implementation.
