10-year lifetime indoor PV energy harvesting battery for wireless sensor node/IoT applications

Although 10-year-lifetime indoor photovoltaic energy-harvesting batteries have been reported, their relatively high internal resistance limits high-current applications. To address this challenge, we propose to develop a novel power-management IC architecture for ambient energy harvesting, enabling improved performance and a more cost-effective energy-harvesting battery solution for indoor applications.

We possess strong technical expertise in this area, with a proven track record in low-power IC design and power management, and are therefore seeking collaboration with partners who have complementary application-domain experience to jointly develop a compelling case for support.
