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 ...

A Spanish-Italian research group has developed a solid-state thermal-to-electric energy converter based on hybrid thermionic-photovoltaics (TIPV) for different applications. It consists of a three ...

The Thermionic Converter market is expected to grow from USD X.X million in 2020 to USD X.X million by 2026, at a CAGR of X.X% during the forecast p ...

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.

Reading further I learned that a thermionic converter consists of a hot emitter electrode from which electrons are vaporized by thermionic emission and a colder collector electrode into which they ...

Atlas Energy Systems, a Purdue University-affiliated startup, has built and tested standalone, combustion-fired thermionic converters. (Image provided) Download image WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Energy ...

The potential use of 14C in energy converters offers a cost-effective solution for the disposal of radioactive graphite that exists in the UK’s decommissioned Magnox and AGR reactors; the material ...

Post-grant, this research is continuing in collaboration with Renewtec (Dubai) who are seeking to scale up the diamond thermionic converter technology to realise concentrated solar power stations in ...
