Efficiency Limits of Solar Energy Harvesting via Internal Photoemission in Carbon Materials

We describe strategies to estimate the upper limits of the efficiency of photon energy harvesting via hot electron extraction from gapless absorbers. Gapless materials such as noble metals can be used for harvesting the whole solar spectrum, including visible and near-infrared light. The energy of p...
