Bio‐Based Solar Energy Harvesting for Onsite Mobile Optical Temperature Sensing in Smart Cities (Adv. Sci. 17/2022)

Bio-Based Solar Energy Harvesting In article number 2104801 by Sandra F.H. Correia, Paulo S. André, Rute A.S. Ferreira, and co-workers, a proof-of-concept for a solar optical thermal sensor based on sustainable aqueous solutions operating in the Internet of Things field is demonstrated. This self-powered system can estimate temperature and send through wi-fi to a platform service which allows to visualize real-time data. These results validate the potential of sustainable resources for future energy-efficient buildings and smart cities.
