Abstract

Operation on-site for Internet of Things (IoT) applications and (to a lesser extend) driven by the needs of Industry 4.0 and the requirement for “bringing part of the lab to the sample” (for on-site chemical analysis applications), are the main driving forces behind development of fieldable micro- or nano-sensors, and of micro- or nano-instruments. Such approaches typically require battery-operation (thus requiring regular battery-replacement). Would it not be ideal if field-operated systems were powered from nanoenergy harvested from ambient sources or even if they were self-powered (i.e., without needing an external power supply)? In this paper, two approaches are explored: One approach involves use of Tribo Electric Nanogenerators (TENGs) and the other a self-powered detector.
