Writing recently in Nature, LaPotin et al. introduce a tandem photovoltaic cell that converts thermal radiation into electricity with efficiencies exceeding 40%, clearly surpassing the thermoelectric efficiency of steam turbines. The cell blurs the lines between solar and thermal photovoltaic technology and could help make solar energy more dispatchable.

太阳能和热能光伏技术的结合可以帮助解决储能问题

最近在《自然》、LaPotin 等人发表文章。引入串联光伏电池，将热辐射转化为电能，效率超过 40%，明显超过蒸汽轮机的热电效率。该电池模糊了太阳能和热能光伏技术之间的界限，并有助于提高太阳能的可调度性。
