Abstract
In this study, we define a synthetic parameter: optothermal expansivity as a quantitative guide to evaluating and optimizing both the thermal and the optical performance of PV–T functional materials. The definition of this parameter, ψ AB (Amlouk–Boubaker parameter), takes into account the thermal diffusivity and the optical effective absorptivity of the material. The values of this parameter, which seems to be a characteristic one, correspond to the total volume that contains a fixed amount of heat per unit time (m3 s-1) and can be considered as a 3D velocity of the transmitted heat inside the material. As the PV–T combined devices need to have simultaneous optical and thermal efficiency, we try to investigate some recently proposed materials (β- SnS 2, In 2 S 3, ZnS 1-x Se x|0 ≤x<0.5 and Zn -doped thioindate compounds) using the newly established ψ AB /Eg abacus.
