Are indoor photovoltaics a good energy source for wireless devices?

Until recently, with the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), indoor photovoltaics (IPVs) that convert indoor light into usable electrical power have been recognized as the most promising energy supplier for the wireless devices including actuators, sensors, and communication devices connected and automated by IoT technology (5, 6).

What types of solar cells can be used for indoor photovoltaics?

IPVs thereby become a growing research field, where various types of PV technologies including dye-sensitized solar cells (14, 15), organic photovoltaics (16, 17), and lead-halide perovskite solar cells (18 – 20) have been explored for IPVs measured under indoor light sources including LEDs and FLs.

Are indoor photovoltaics the world's oldest and long-ignored material?

Here, we revisit the world’s oldest but long-ignored photovoltaic material with the emergence of indoor photovoltaics (IPVs); the absorption spectrum of Se perfectly matches the emission spectra of commonly used indoor light sources in the 400 to 700 nm range.

Do indoor thin-film PV cells work under low light conditions?

Under the ambient low light conditions, the device operation mechanisms of indoor thin-film PVs will change. However, to date, research on IPV cell modeling and operation mechanisms are still lacking. Also, there are few studies on long-term stability characterizations under indoor conditions.

Are solution-processed PV cells more efficient than inorganic PV cells?

The efficiency of energy conversion in low light environments (typically 0.01 Sun) can in fact be higher in solution-processed organic PV cells compared to their inorganic counterparts which operate in direct sunlight.
