Mercapto-based coupling agent for improved thermophotovoltaic device back surface reflector adhesion and reflectance
Abstract
A back surface reflector (BSR) is described. The BSR includes a reflecting layer, a substrate and an adhesion layer between the reflecting layer and the substrate. The adhesion layer includes 3-mercaptopropyl (trimethoxy) silane (a.k.a. Merc).
