Indoor solar cells have a prospective to influence the ecology of the Internet of Things (IoTs), containing communication devices, actuators, remote, and distributed sensors. Smart IoT sensors have the potential of performing control functions and mass monitoring, which leads to modernize the industrial and domestic automation systems.
Traditional solar cells, for instance, are bulky and expensive to manufacture, plus they are inflexible and cannot be made transparent, which can be useful for temperature-monitoring sensors placed on windows and car windshields. They’re also really only designed to efficiently harvest energy from powerful sunlight, not low indoor light.
DSSCs are low-cost photoconversion solutions with ease of manufacturing facility and they can also be made in the bifacial configuration. Further, DSSCs have high photoconversion efficiency in diffuse sunlight and cloudy environments as compare to conventional Si-based solar cells.
The cells could power the sensors in both bright sunlight and dimmer indoor conditions. Moreover, the team found the solar power actually gives the sensors a major power boost that enables greater data-transmission distances and the ability to integrate multiple sensors onto a single RFID tag.
There are three types of solar cells based on these organic materials, i.e., DSSC, polymer heterojunction solar cells (PSCs) and perovskite solar cells (PVSC). Perovskite solar cells give the utmost power-conversion-efficiency (PCE). The most recently recorded PCE of perovskites is 23.3% in the single-junction layout ( Mora-Seró et al., 2020 ).
