Abstract
We introduce new micron-gap thermophotovoltaic systems enhanced by tungsten nanowires. We theoretically show that these systems allow the frequency-selective super-Planckian spectrum of radiative heat transfer that promises a very efficient generation of electricity. Our system analysis covers practical aspects such as output power per unit area and efficiency of the tap water cooling.
