Hybrid thermionic near-field thermophotovoltaic converter

Chapeau
The conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy would make it possible to overcome the problem posed by the intermittency of solar or wind energy. Different paths are currently being studied, and a new concept has just been proposed: a hybrid near-field thermophotovoltaic/thermionic device.

European project Quantiheat coordinated by Séverine Gomes awarded a "Star of Europe" prize by the French Ministry of Research

Chapeau
Coordinated by Séverine Gomès, CNRS research director at CETHIL, the QUANTIHEAT project is awarded with this trophy dedicated to the best European projects carried by French teams. QUANTIHEAT has brought together around twenty partners from nine European countries. The aim was to better understand and measure thermal phenomena at the nanoscale, which are particularly important to consider in many technologies. The "Stars of Europe trophy" was presented on behalf of the Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation Frédérique Vidal on December 5th at a ceremony at the Quai Branly Jacques Chirac Museum in Paris.
