Heat energy can be converted into electricity with very high efficiency through a temperature-induced electron flow process known as thermionic emission. Thermionic energy converters have been used ...

However, as [Nick] notes, unlike PV cells etched in silicon, a thermionic converter can be built with basic glassworking tools, requiring little more than a torch, a vacuum pump, and a spot welder.

Tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) promise to revolutionize electronics with lower power consumption and enhanced ...

He began to reanalyze thermionic energy conversion technology that was used by NASA in the 1950s and 1960s. From there, he used his knowledge and skills gained from the Purdue Certificate in ...

Hybrid thermionic-photovoltaic systems are described as an upgraded version of pure thermionic converters, as they add the ability to harvest photons in a photovoltaic anode and produce an ...

Methods: Laser-induced thermionic emission reduction (LITER) During the experiments, Jiang et al precisely delivered laser packages with a pulse duration of 5 nanoseconds, and a pulse energy of up ...
