From indoor energy harvesting to low-power smart devices, perovskite is opening up new directions for energy applications.
As AI, IoT, and smart sensing devices continue to grow rapidly, the future world will see a surge in low-power electronic devices. From smart buildings and environmental sensing to electronic tags and Edge AI nodes, the rapid increase in the number of devices has made "energy supply methods" a crucial issue for industrial development. Especially in distributed device architectures, continued heavy reliance on traditional batteries will not only increase maintenance and replacement costs but may also limit the large-scale deployment of future smart environments. Therefore, "indoor energy harvesting" has become an important research direction in the global energy and electronics fields in recent years.
Professor Chen Fangzhong from National Chiao Tung University was invited to share his latest research directions.
This forum has specially invited Professor Fang-Chung Chen from the Department of Optoelectronic Engineering at National Yang-Ming National Chiao Tung University to deliver a keynote speech. Professor Chen has long been engaged in research fields such as organic and electronic components and materials, perovskite materials and optoelectronic components, development and application of low-dimensional nanomaterials, perovskite quantum dots, artificial intelligence development of novel optoelectronic materials, and X-ray detection materials and components.
Their research team continues to delve into novel optoelectronic materials and high-efficiency energy component technologies, and actively invests in research related to perovskite solar energy, indoor photovoltaics, and low-power optoelectronic components. In recent years, with the gradual development of Ambient IoT, self-powered sensors, and smart field technologies, indoor energy harvesting technology has gradually been regarded as one of the important energy solutions for future low-power electronic systems.
What is Indoor Energy Harvesting?
"Indoor energy harvesting" refers to the conversion of indoor light sources into electricity that can be used by electronic devices. Unlike traditional solar energy, which mainly relies on outdoor sunlight, indoor energy harvesting focuses more on how to generate electricity effectively in environments with LEDs, fluorescent lights, or low light levels.
In recent years, with the rapid increase in the number of smart sensors, electronic tags, environmental monitoring and AIoT devices, a large number of low-power devices have begun to appear in factories, offices, hospitals, shopping malls and smart buildings. Although these devices consume little power, if they rely entirely on battery power, they will face huge maintenance, replacement and disposal problems in the future.
Why is perovskite suitable for indoor energy harvesting?
Among them, perovskite solar energy has received high attention from the international academic and industrial communities in recent years due to its characteristics such as high light absorption capacity, low-temperature manufacturing process, adjustable bandgap, and excellent photoelectric conversion efficiency even in low-light environments. Compared with traditional silicon solar energy, which is mainly designed for outdoor high light, perovskite materials have better spectral matching capabilities under indoor light source conditions such as LEDs and fluorescent lights, and are therefore considered to be very suitable for applications in indoor photovoltaics and low-power electronic systems.
Beyond energy applications, calcite materials have rapidly expanded into fields such as displays, sensing, X-ray detection, quantum dots, and AI-aided materials development in recent years, gradually forming a new cross-disciplinary optoelectronic technology platform. With the continuous improvement in the stability of materials, processes, and components, the future application potential of calcite technology in smart buildings, medical sensing, wearable devices, and next-generation AIoT systems is attracting increasing attention.
In the future, through indoor energy harvesting technology, some low-power devices will have the opportunity to reduce their reliance on traditional batteries, further promoting the development of new applications such as smart factories, smart offices, environmental sensing, and Ambient IoT. This forum will also serve as an important platform for industry-academia-research exchange, sharing domestic and international research and industry trends to further explore the latest development directions of calcite technology in new energy, smart applications, and next-generation optoelectronic components.
