The 5th annual Energy Harvesting Society meeting was held September 7 – 9, 2022 at Hyatt Regency Baltimore Inner Harbor hotel in Baltimore, Maryland. Energy harvesting has become the key to the future of wireless sensor and actuator networks for variety of applications including monitoring of temperature, strain, humidity, light, and location of persons within buildings, chemical/gas sensor, structural health monitoring, and IoT.
The meeting featured plenary lectures, invited talks, contributed talks, and posters within the following topical areas:
- Energy Harvesting (Piezoelectric, Inductive, Photovoltaic, Thermoelectric, Electrostatic, dielectric, radioactive, electrets, etc.)
- Materials for EH: multifunctional, SDG-compatible materials, Composites, thin film, etc.
- Energy Storage (Supercapacitors, Batteries, fuel cells, microbial cells, etc.)
- Applications (Structural and Industrial Health Monitoring, Human Body Network, Wireless Sensor Nodes, telemetry, personal power, IoT, etc.)
- Emerging Energy Harvesting Technologies (perovskite solar cells, shape memory engines, CNT textiles, thermomagnetics, bio-based processes, etc.)
- Energy management, transmission and distribution; Energy efficient electronics for energy harvesters and distribution
- Fluid-flow energy harvesting
- Solar – thermal converters
- Multi-junction energy harvesting systems
- Wireless power transfer
