The reliable and sustainable operation of such autonomous wearable electronics hinges on the rational integration of energy harvesting and storage modules, as well as their corresponding
Nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a "wearable microgrid" that harvests and stores energy from the human body to power small electronics. It consists of three main parts: sweat
The wearable microgrid was tested on a subject during 30-minute sessions that consisted of 10 minutes of either exercising on a cycling machine or running, followed by 20 minutes of
However, their untethered, sustainable and reliable operation on-body has been a challenge. Traditional Li-ion batteries are bulky and unsafe, whereas new form factor batteries
This perspective points out the similarity between self-sustainable wearable systems and independent microgrids, summarizes key system-level considerations in designing smart and reliable wearable microgrids with dynamic energy prediction and budgeting, and envision the future roadmap for the development of wearable electronics.
This Perspective discusses the vision of a wearable microgrid, based on a judicious scenario-specific selection of harvesting and storage modules, with commensurate performance, towards the rational design of practical wearable electronic systems with high energy autonomy and reliability.
Inspired by this notion, we herein propose and demonstrate the concept of a wearable e-textile microgrid system: a multi-module, textile-base system with applications powered by complementary and synergistic energy harvesters and commensurate energy storage modules.
Viewing the scattered wearable energy technologies through the concept of independent microgrids allows us to reassess the goal of establishing a reliable, practical, and energy-economical wearable system.
In summary, we have demonstrated the concept of wearable bioenergy microgrid via a textile-based multi-module system for sequentially harvesting biomechanical and biochemical energy via the TEG and BFC modules.
Energy-autonomous wearable systems and wearable microgrids have been a focus of developing the next-generation wearable electronics due to their ability to harvest energy and to fully support the sustainable operation of wearable electronics.
