Abstract: A thermophotovoltaic (TPV) system, comprises a substrate, an emitter material adhered to the substrate, and a thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cell. The emitter material is a typically a metal oxide doped nickel oxide sol-gel material, in which the metal is magnesium or zirconium, and in which the sol-gel material comprises 97-99 mol% metal oxide, and about 1-3 mol% nickel oxide dopant. Providing an emitter material as a sol-gel allows the material to be coated on to surfaces providing better adherence to the surface, and also provides excellent heat stability. A sol-gel material is also described.
