Congratulations to David Bierman and Andrej Lenert! MIT Technology Review has named STPV one of the “Biggest Clean Energy Advances in 2016”. Earlier in 2016, a demonstration of enhanced STPV device performance through the suppression of 80% of unconvertible photons by pairing a one-dimensional photonic crystal selective emitter with a tandem plasma-interference optical filter was published in Nature Energy. A solar-to-electrical conversion rate of 6.8%, exceeding the performance of the photovoltaic cell alone was measured. Read more at: MIT News and Solar Thermophotovoltaic
Congratulations to Yang Zhong for being named Forbes 30 Under 30 in Energy & Green Tech, Class of 2025
