Abstract
Provided is a near-field thermal radiation power generation element in which the efficiency of power generation by near-field thermal radiation is improved by reducing a distance between a heat source and a photoelectric conversion unit as compared with that in a conventional case. A near-field thermal radiation power generation element includes a heat source, a photoelectric conversion unit, and a stopper. The heat source has a heat source surface. The photoelectric conversion unit has a photoelectric conversion unit surface facing the heat source surface. The stopper connects the heat source surface and the photoelectric conversion unit surface. A material for the stopper is a two-dimensional material.
