RE: [Vo]:Heat/light hybrid solar cells

There is at least one common material – SiC (it may be unique) which can be fabricated to convert blackbody to quasi monochromatic IR. There are a number of papers about this, but the first one that pops up is “Extraordinary Coherent Thermal Emission From SiC Due to Coupled Resonant
