Abstract:
A plasmoelectric device for conversion of optical power to direct current (DC) electrical power includes a first plasmonic nanostructure having a first resonance value and a second plasmonic nanostructure having a second resonance value. The first and second plasmonic nanostructures are electrically coupled and the first plasmonic nanostructure is configured to receive irradiation at a first irradiation value and the second plasmonic nanostructure is configured to receive irradiation at a second irradiation value, to induce charge transfer between the first and second plasmonic nanostructures.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to an energy recycling device. The energy recycling device includes a substrate, multiple miniature receivers, for receiving infrared radiation, on the substrate and multiple current rectifiers electrically connected to the miniature receivers respectively. The miniature receivers transform the infrared radiation into alternating currents (AC). The current rectifiers rectify the alternating currents (AC) so as to transform the alternating currents (AC) into direct currents (DC). Thereby, the infrared radiation received by the miniature receivers can be first transformed into the alternating currents (AC) with extremely high frequencies, and then the alternating currents (AC) with extremely high frequencies can be transformed into direct currents (DC) usable by an electronic device. Accordingly, infrared can be used to supply power.
