Abstract
The Sun is the greatest source of energy providing
a continuous stream of power; its exploitation has stimulated
several approaches and technologies to directly or indirectly
achieve renewable energy. New devices, which exploit the
thermal radiation created by the Sun, that is transferred in the
form of electromagnetic waves into free space, and finally
absorbed by the surface of the Earth, are under study. The aim of
this contribution is to critically compare advantages and
disadvantages of new types of suitable antennas operating at
nanometers wavelengths, called nanoantennas, for infrared
energy harvesting, focusing on the state of the art and its
perspectives.
