Abstract

Cleaner power generation technologies are needed to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and to reduce the negative effects of climate change, but will that be enough? In this talk, I will discuss our latest work on two fronts. First, I will discuss how to make more efficient photovoltaic devices and sensors through the extraction of thermally energetic carriers (e.g. hot carriers) before they relax. Second, I will discuss the potential of radiative cooling to modify the global energy flux to combat global warming.
