Abstract

Amorphous diamond has the least work function for electron emission in vacuum. It is also the most thermionic material possible. Hence, amorphous diamond can be used as thermally activated energy converter, such as a solar cell. Amorphous diamond solar cells may have the potential to generate electricity with cost on the par with power plants in the near future. The implementation of amorphous diamond solar cells may usher human civilization to the availability of unlimited clean energy.
