Abstract
We have theoretically investigated the effect of front electrode on the structure and performances of Ga x In $_{1-{x}}$ As y Sb $_{1-{y}}$ thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cells. By sampling a comb-like electrode, it is clearly demonstrated here that the optimum grid separation ${d}_{G}$ depending on the cell bandgap yields a quadratic function for a given spectrum illumination, while the desired coefficients are strongly temperature-dependent and can be well modeled by an exponential decay expression. Comparing with previous report with constant grid separation, the denser front electrode promises an inferior cell efficiency, but the similar phenomenological method can be still applicable to predict the structure and performance of Ga x In $_{1-{x}}$ As y Sb $_{1-{y}}$ TPV cells for a given operation environment.
