This review provides a comprehensive overview of advanced photo–thermal–electric energy conversion systems and outlines future directions. Photo–thermal–electric energy conversion enables the transformation of solar energy and thermal energy into electricity through photovoltaic, photothermal and thermoelectric effects.
Photovoltaic (PV) cells are popularly considered a feasible device for solar energy conversion. However, the temperature on the surface of a working solar cells can be high, which significantly decreases the power conversion efficiency and seriously reduces the cell life.
The photovoltaic effect directly converts light into electricity, whereas the thermoelectric effect converts temperature differences into electrical energy. In a PV-TE system, the thermoelectric module is integrated with the tandem perovskite silicon solar cell to collect the waste heat generated during solar energy conversion.
