Sustainability considerations for organic electronic products
This emerging industry has a responsibility to ensure a ‘cradle-to-cradle’ approach. We highlight that ease of dismantling and recycling needs to closely relate to the product lifetime, and that regeneration should be facilitated in product design. Materials choices should consider the environmental effects of synthesis, processing and end-product recycling as well as performance. Read more…
Single-photon absorption and emission from a natural photosynthetic complex
Photosynthesis is generally assumed to be initiated by a single photon from the Sun, which, as a weak light source, delivers at most a few tens of photons per nanometre squared per second within a chlorophyll absorption band. Yet much experimental and theoretical work over the past 40 years has explored the events during photosynthesis subsequent to absorption of light from intense, ultrashort laser pulses. Read more…
Numerical optimization and performance evaluation of ZnPC:PC70BM based dye-sensitized solar cell
Our analyses show that moderate thickness, minimum series resistance, high shunt resistance, and high metal-work function are favorable for better device performance due to low recombination losses, electrical losses, and better transport of charge carriers. In addition, in-depth research for clarifying the impact of factors, such as thickness variation, defect density, and doping density of charge transport layers, has been conducted. Read more…

Energy harvesting shows the way to a sustainable future
Batteries are especially important to IoT devices used in remote monitoring solutions. Many of these products are designed with power consumption in mind and can last for months or years between battery replacements. However, when multiplied by millions, even the occasional need to replace a device’s batteries is time-consuming and expensive. And the disposal of millions of batteries generates a significant environmental impact… Read more…
Dracula Technologies Reports 25% Performance Improvement
Dracula Technologies announces a new generation of LAYER® OPV modules, with a 25% performance improvement over the previous generation.
Thanks to this significant achievement, customers designing indoor IoT devices, wearables, and any other component that runs on ultra-lower power can either generate 25% more power using the same amount of space—750µW under 1000 lux, instead of 570µW—or they can use 25% less surface area to get the same power, voltage, and current they got from the previous generation. This development is the first of what is expected to be a series of improvements in the use of more eco-friendly materials. Read more…
Human Power Production and Energy Harvesting
Human metabolism is strictly connected to the environment, and, on a large scale, to sustainability, pollution, and climate change. In fact, it is a well-established fact that “anthropic pressure” is the main determinant of environmental pollution, including the exploitation of resources, such as water and food. It is well known that ground consumption is also linked to human metabolism. The need to reduce carbon emissions worldwide is one of the biggest challenges science faces today and in the foreseeable future. Read more…
Li-ion Battery Recycling Market 2023-2043
IDTechEx forecasts that by 2043, approximately 23.8 million tonnes of Li-ion batteries will be recycled, equivalent to US$101B in valuable metals. Li-ion batteries dominate electric vehicles (EV) and consumer electronics markets and are expected to be the main battery technology used in stationary energy storage. However, the sustainability of Li-ion batteries relies on their entire lifecycle management, including at end-of-life (EOL). Furthermore, the availability of raw materials such as cobalt is becoming a growing concern. Read more…
Carbon Nanotubes 2023-2033: Market, Technology & Players

Supercapacitor Energy Harvesting - What You Need to Know
Low-power IoT devices can harvest energy from wind, heat, and solar sources, and you can store that energy in a battery or a supercapacitor. With help from Eaton, James talks in this episode about what electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) are, considerations for when you'd want to use them, and a small demo where we harvest solar energy into a supercapacitor to drive a Raspberry Pi Pico W.
