Hybrid and Integrated Harvesting and Storage Systems

We work on the integration of energy harvesting devices with supercapacitors to create self charging and portable powerpacks for wearable and/or implantable devices, reaching energy autonomy in both indoor and outdoor environments. We work with third-generation photovoltaic technologies, particularly focusing on dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). These offer high efficiency in diffuse and low-light conditions and offer a sustainable and straightforward fabrication process. We are also developing photovoltaic devices tailored for indoor applications, addressing the need for energy autonomy in artificial illumination conditions.

We firmly believe that one of the Group’s strengths lies in the transdisciplinary approach that stems from active collaboration between experts from different fields, crucial for achieving results in both research and technological transfer.
