Are wearable energy storage devices compatible with human-body energy harvesters?

In this article, we review the advances in the design of sustainable energy storage devices charged by human-body energy harvesters. The progress in multifunctional wearable energy storage devices that cater to the easy integration with human-body energy harvesters will be summarized.

Can flexible electrochemical energy storage devices be self-sustainable?

Charging flexible electrochemical energy storage devices by human-body energy (body motion, heat, and biofluids) is becoming a promising method to relieve the need of frequent recharging, and, thus, enable the construction of a self-sustainable wearable or implantable system including sensing, therapy, and wireless data transmission.

What are human motion based energy harvesters?

Human-motion-based energy harvesters, which generate electricity from our own body motion, have wide applications in our daily life, ranging from daily energy supply to delicate human health monitoring. Human motions are classified into three categories based on how they operate as a source of excitation for human-motion-based energy harvesters.

Can human-motion based energy harvesters be integrated into self-charging power systems?

Instead, it can be stored in an energy storage device, such as advanced batteries and supercapacitors. Thus, human-motion-based energy harvesters and energy storage devices can be integrated into self-charging power systems (SCPSs), 359 which can store the generated power effectively and supply power when needed.

What are human-body-related energy harvesters?

This includes consumer electronics, wireless sensors, structural health monitoring devices, human healthcare devices, and in the design of rescue devices, self-sensing devices, HMIs, and in biology, military, or transportation. Therefore, human-body-related energy harvesters have attracted increasing attention in recent decades.

Can human body energy be used to charge wearable electrochemical storage devices?

Human beings are living on sunlight-radiated earth, thus, harvesting energy from sunlight is a good compensation for human-body energy to charge wearable electrochemical storage devices, especially considering each human-body energy harvester requires specific conditions to deliver the best power output.
