Abstract

The field of Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) has recently exhibited highly promising characteristics. The performance of thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cells with 0.72 eV-GaSb and 0.59 eV-InGaAs varies at different radiation temperatures, as demonstrated in this experimental study. The research evaluates and compares the TPV cell performance under radiation temperatures ranging from 800 to 1200 °C, and analyses the impact of temperature on critical parameters. The maximum efficiencies achieved for GaSb and InGaAs cells were 23.10% and 28.91%, respectively, under tungsten radiation spectrum at a temperature of 1200 °C. This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights into optimizing TPV systems for efficient thermal-to-electrical energy conversion using GaSb and InGaAs cells.
