Abstract

The rapid development of wearable sensor technology can be attributed to developments in materials, microelectronics, fabrication, communication systems, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The use of wearable sensors enables continuous acquisition and monitoring of the pathophysiological parameters of a person in real time. The global market for health-related wearables has experienced significant growth, particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. A wearable sensor module is comprised of various components, including a powering unit, sensor(s), acquisition unit, communication unit, and processing unit. The non-fluctuating power source with a long life is of utmost significance to the continuous and real-time operation of a wearable sensor. A wearable device can be powered by a rechargeable battery, such as a lithium-ion battery, which can be charged from a standard power source but requires regular recharging after depletion and has a negative environmental impact. This necessitates using green renewable energy sources like photovoltaic cells, piezoelectric generators, wind energy converters, and thermoelectric generators for powering wearable sensor modules. The photovoltaic cell that converts photonics into electrical energy is deemed a viable green energy source for wearable sensor modules. This article reviews the progress and application of photovoltaic technology in wearable sensor modules.
光伏技术在可穿戴传感器中的应用现状及展望
可穿戴传感器技术的快速发展可归因于材料,微电子,制造,通信系统和人工智能(AI)的发展。使用可穿戴传感器可以实时连续获取和监测人的病理生理参数。与健康相关的可穿戴设备的全球市场经历了显着增长,特别是在应对COVID-19大流行的情况下。一种可穿戴传感器模块由各种组件组成,包括供电单元、传感器、采集单元、通信单元和处理单元。长寿命的无波动电源对可穿戴传感器的连续、实时工作至关重要。可穿戴设备可以由可充电电池供电,例如锂离子电池,这种电池可以从标准电源充电,但在耗尽后需要定期充电,并且对环境有负面影响。这就需要使用绿色可再生能源,如光伏电池、压电发电机、风能转换器和热电发电机,为可穿戴传感器模块供电。将光电子转换为电能的光伏电池被认为是可穿戴传感器模块的可行绿色能源。本文综述了光伏技术在可穿戴传感器模块中的应用进展。
