A diamond-based photo-thermionic cathode for future high-temperature concentrating solar cells was designed and fabricated. A specific cathode structure is discussed in terms of band diagram, introduction of defect energy states, and nanotechnology fabrication methods to increase the capability of solar radiation absorption and transformation into useful electric charge carriers.

Abstract

A diamond-based photo-thermionic cathode for future high-temperature concentrating solar cells was designed and fabricated. A specific cathode structure is discussed in terms of band diagram, introduction of defect energy states, and nanotechnology fabrication methods to increase the capability of solar radiation absorption and transformation into useful electric charge carriers.
