Graphene Infrared Transparent Electrode (GITE) and Thermal Enhancer for the Hybrid Energy Nanodevice

Abstract

An objective of this research is to investigate the basic optical properties of nanocarbon-based materials in the infrared regime and to explore their applications for infrared transparent electrodes as a fundamental engineering problem. If successful, the research will enable plasmonic absorption in the infrared to be transformed into heat through phonon scattering with plasmons, thus enhancing thermal radiation absorption and reducing the reflection at the thermoelectric generator.
