SYMPOSIUM 26 – Materials and Devices for Sustainable IoT Systems

By 2030, society will deploy 10 trillion sensors, 75 billion connected objects, and 110 billion IoT devices. Powering these systems will drive the future increase in electricity demand, making IoT sustainability critical. A sustainable IoT ecosystem requires efficient energy storage, harvesters, power management interfaces, and low-power consumers.

Session Topics:

Energy harvesters: Turning ambient energy (solar/indoor light, thermal, kinetic/vibration, and RF/Wi-Fi/cellular) into usable electricity
Intermediate energy storage: Rechargeable batteries, supercapacitors, and high-capacitance capacitors
Low-power energy consumers: Energy-efficient/self-powered sensors, microcontrollers, memories, and light sources
Power management: Ultralow-power electronic components supporting efficient energy management
Other materials & devices: Novel innovations benefiting sustainable IoT systems
