(Nanowerk Spotlight) Heat energy can be converted into electricity with very high efficiency through a temperature-induced electron flow process known as thermionic emission. The basic operating ...
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 ...
Researchers discover a new theory that paves the way for the design of better graphene electronics and energy converters. When a metal is heated to a sufficiently high temperature, electrons can be ...
Thermionic energy conversion harnesses thermal excitation to emit electrons from a hot cathode into vacuum and collect them at a cooler anode, thereby producing electrical power directly from heat. In ...
Typically, if you want to convert solar energy into electrical energy, you use either photovoltaic (PV) cells, or you use the sunlight to create steam to turn a turbine. Both of these methods are well ...

1904: British engineer John Ambrose Fleming invents and patents the thermionic valve, the first vacuum tube. With this advance, the age of modern wireless electronics is born. The principle of ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Energy technology can be costly and inconvenient for commercial usage due to operational expenses. Atlas Energy Systems, a Purdue University-affiliated startup, is working to ...
(Nanowerk News) When a metal is heated to a sufficiently high temperature, electrons can be ejected out from the surface in a process known as the thermionic emission, a process that is similar to the ...
