FULL-SPECTRUM ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY CAPTURING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC H02J50/00 H02N11/00 

FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods and devices for capturing energy from electromagnetic radiation and supplying said energy for consumption. Technical result is achieved by the fact that the system for capturing electromagnetic energy comprises an element comprising in combination: at least one body made of a material and comprising a curvilinear upper surface layer, adapted to receive electromagnetic radiation and transfer it to the material, and lower surface layer. Upper and lower surface layers are adapted to reflect internal electromagnetic radiation back into the material containing multilayer films with multiple semiconductors. Multilayer films define a non-planar three-dimensional ribbon geometry so that they substantially cover the three dimensions of the space between the upper surface layer and the lower surface layer, whereby the internal electromagnetic radiation interacts with the material in three dimensions and excites electrons to transition from the valence band to the conduction band in the material. System comprises at least one electrode in contact with said element for generating electrical energy.

EFFECT: designing solar cells that maximise the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation from which energy is captured, the capture efficiency of capturing said energy and duration of capture duration during the day, demonstrate high efficiency and are actually able to provide power of at least about 2,9 kWh per m³ or more.
