Nanophotonic control of thermal radiation for energy applications [Invited]

Journal Article Li, Wei ; Fan, Shanhui - Optics Express

The ability to control thermal radiation is of fundamental importance for a wide range of applications. Nanophotonic structures, where at least one of the structural features are at a wavelength or sub-wavelength scale, can have thermal radiation properties that are drastically different from conventional thermal emitters, and offer exciting opportunities for energy applications. Here we review recent developments of nanophotonic control of thermal radiation, and highlight some exciting energy application opportunities, such as daytime radiative cooling, thermal textile, and thermophotovoltaic systems that are enabled by nanophotonic structures.

Thermodynamic limits of energy harvesting from outgoing thermal radiation

Journal Article Buddhiraju, Siddharth ; Santhanam, Parthiban ; Fan, Shanhui - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Significance A large part of the research on renewable energy has focused on harvesting power from solar radiation. But, for the Earth to maintain its temperature, it must radiate to the outer space an amount of power approximately equal to that of the incoming solar radiation. However, far less is understood about the theoretical limits of harvesting power from such outgoing radiation. Here, we identify a duality relation between harvesting incoming and outgoing thermal radiation and use it to derive fundamental limits of harvesting outgoing thermal radiation. Our results indicate a theoretical limit that far exceeds what was previously thoughtmore »« less

Photonic Refrigeration from Time-Modulated Thermal Emission

Journal Article Buddhiraju, Siddharth ; Li, Wei ; Fan, Shanhui - Physical Review Letters

We develop theoretical and computational formalisms to describe thermal radiation from temporally modulated systems. We demonstrate that such a modulation results in a photon-based active cooling mechanism. This mechanism has a high thermodynamic performance that can approach the Carnot limit. Our work points to exciting new avenues in active, time-modulated control of thermal emission for cooling and energy harvesting applications.
