Heat and light for powering the Internet of Things
Harvestore is a new European project for the development of beyond-state-of-the-art technologies in the field of Internet of Things.
Our “μ-harvestorers” will be able to collect and store energy from heat and light at the same time, in order to serve a whole family of new-generation portable devices. They will be powerful, small, and environmental friendly.
A EUROPEAN NETWORK
Harvestore puts together some of the main actors of science and technology across Europe. Research, technology centers and advanced industries from 6 different countries have joined their efforts with the goal of opening-up a new technology paradigm in the world of IoT.
At the edge of science and technology
Nanoioncs and Iontronics
With Harvestore, we will fabricate new artificial materials with superior performance. Fast electrical conduction and high charge storage capacity will be achieved by taking advantage of nanoscale engineering.
Silicon Integration
Advanced science and mainstream fabrication techniques will be bridged by the use of silicon technology. Silicon combines unique properties of manufacturability, abundance and low environmental impact.
Hear the latest
From a collaboration between @atlab15 and @Cambridge_Uni, we developed a route for fabricating micro fuel cells on metallic substrates based on advanced thin-film materials https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acsami.0c15368
At least 20-25 °C difference to harvest here!👯👯
Baby, it's getting cold outside ❄️
Imagine if can harvest & store #energy for your #IoT devices in your home via heat & light? #EICPathfinder #sustainability
