Abstract
Recent advances in PV cell technology and in thermal emitters has led to renewed interest in TPV electric power generation. Here, the authors review thermal sources, theoretical analysis to select materials with optimum bandgap, and fabrication of efficient TPV cells. Some experimental data are included
