Batteryless sensor for IoT network edge
IoT is everywhere and although it is powerful, it also brings some challenges. Each sensing element is by definition an electronic device, and all electronic devices have in common the need for a power supply to operate. When deployed in small places such as homes and offices, it is relatively easy to power the sensors, whether they are wired or even button batteries that are replaced. However, due to the wide and wide deployment of environmental sensors, it is usually in remote and large spaces such as factories and buildings. Therefore, the use of wired power is inefficient, and replacing the battery is often inconvenient. In fact, the same problem exists with sensors that are embedded in near but hard-to-access areas such as the center of the machine. The number of sensors currently deployed is already in the billions, and this figure will only continue to grow, showing no sign of slowing down. So, how can this problem be solved?
