Special Issue “TPV 2024”: Selected Contributions to the 15th World Conference on Thermophotovoltaic Generation of Electricity Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells is publishing a special issue in connection with the 15th World Conference on Thermophotovoltaic Generation of Electricity (Madrid October 1-3 2024). Thermophotovoltaics (TPV) refers to solid-state thermal-to-electrical energy conversion based on the photovoltaic effect. It is suited for thermal sources operating at temperatures near or above 1000 K, such as waste or stored heat recovery, or solar thermal energy conversion. Given the recent progress in high-temperature materials science, photonics, and growth and processing of III-V semiconductors, a renaissance of research on thermophotovoltaics has taken place over the last decade. The challenges to tackle are indeed multiple, for designing, fabricating, and testing new materials, devices, and systems for TPV applications. The special Issue will cover recent advances
