Energy-Autonomous Microgrids: Integrated DC Energy Scavenging and On-Chip Micro-batteries for Self-Sustained Smart Electronics

CORDIS · observation · Publication date unknown

Energy-Autonomous Microgrids: Integrated DC Energy Scavenging and On-Chip Micro-batteries for Self-Sustained Smart Electronics Artificial intelligence now depends on continuous, real-time data from vast IoT networks (microsensors, RFID, wearables, smart infrastructure). With >50 billion devices projected by 2030, disposable batteries and wiring are neither sustainable nor operationally manageable. Prior self-powered schemes pairing piezoelectric/triboelectric harvesters with micro-supercapacitors often yield irregular AC, high impedance and rapid self-discharge, forcing rectifiers/PMICs and undermining long-term operation. This Global Fellowship will deliver the first Autonomous-µGrids: a fully printed, monolithically integrated platform that directly couples DC tribovoltaic and moisture-electric generators with on-chip Zn//I2 micro-batteries to supply stable, maintenance-free power without external rectification or bulky power management. The research is organised into four objectives : (i) fabricate on-chip, h
