In view of clean energy sources to power the Internet of things, recently ambient energy harvesting mechanisms based on micro/nano technologies have attracted so much attention due their unique features and properties. They are named micro/nano power source to efficiently harvest and convert biomechanical energy into remarkable electricity, which is thus clean without any source of pollution and sustainable. However, in order to make a real impact in daily life applications, further improvements are needed in particular for output enhancement and manufacture simplification. This talk will introduce our research activities to respond these challenges by developing large-scale mass-fabrication technologies, exploring eco-friendly low-cost materials and proposing hybrid mechanisms. More than effective energy harvesting, we also focus on inventing self-powered integrated micro/nano-systems, which combine separated functional components, including a complete chain of sensing-proceeding-responding as well as power sources. Thus, this talk also explores the feasibility of “all-in-one” self-powered smart microsystems.
物联网的飞速发展需要探寻一种清洁、可靠、可持续的能源供给方式，而当前基于微纳制造技术的环境能量采集技术因其独特的特性和优势，引起了人们的广泛关注。这一类微纳能源能够有效地、持续地将生物机械能转化为电能，且对环境污染的影响微乎其微，因而被认为是一种绿色能源。但是这类微纳能源要实现在实际生活中的应用，仍然需要进一步提高性能并降低制造复杂度。因此，本次讲座报告将介绍我们在大规模批量化制造技术、环保低成本材料及复合集成机理等方面的研究工作进展。此外，与有效能量采集转化相比，我们同样非常关注将多种功能组部件，包括传感-处理-响应-电源，进行一体化集成。因此，本次讲座报告将探讨实现单片全集成自驱动智能微纳系统的可行性。
