The Internet of Things (IoT) revolution and UK's strategy to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050 requires establishing efficient energy scavenging technologies that can be utilised to power small electronic devices for sensing, processing and communicating data. The development of such technologies is essential for supporting modern societal needs in ubiquitous computing and AI. At the same time however, it becomes of vital importance that such technologies are built with environmentally friendly (green) approaches, taking into account the entire life cycle of the product - from raw materials and manufacturing to end-of-life. It is thus important to minimise as much as possible the use of toxic materials and chemicals, as well as develop procedures without the need to utilise equipment that consume huge amounts of energy. A key example is the Si photovoltaics industry that employs toxic chemicals in their production that are not easy to be recycled. It has been estimated that by 2050, over 60 million tons of waste will be generated from silicon solar panels alone. The aim of this fellowship is to develop novel self-powered electronic technologies, without the need to be operated by batteries; all developed with green materials and low-energy manufacturing techniques. Along these lines, I will use organic semiconductors (OSCs) that allow developing high-performance photovoltaic cells without resourcing to toxic materials. When compared to alternative conventional materials used in PVs my approach will allow for easy processing, low-cost manufacturing and attaining high performance. This will entail appropriate device engineering and material's processing strategies for prototyping high performing OPVs on rigid and flexible substrates. In parallel, I will develop low power consuming electronic components such as, sensors and supercapacitors, from green solvents and materials, in order to couple them with OPVs. Operation of such electronics will be mainly attained via light illumination, for outdoor and indoor conditions that will be exploited in a variety of practical applications. The overarching vision of this fellowship is to establish a new pathway in the IoT industry, enabling the use of such technologies in hard-to-reach areas, wearables and disposable biosensing platforms.

物联网 (IoT) 革命和英国到 2050 年实现净零碳排放的战略需要建立高效的能源净化技术，该技术可用于为小型电子设备供电，以进行传感、处理和通信数据。此类技术的发展对于支持现代社会对普适计算和人工智能的需求至关重要。但与此同时，至关重要的是，此类技术必须采用环保（绿色）方法构建，并考虑到产品的整个生命周期（从原材料和制造到报废）。因此，重要的是尽可能减少有毒材料和化学品的使用，并开发无需使用消耗大量能源的设备的程序。一个关键的例子是硅光伏行业，该行业在生产中使用不易回收的有毒化学品。据估计，到 2050 年，仅硅太阳能电池板就会产生超过 6000 万吨废物。该奖学金的目的是开发新型自供电电子技术，无需电池操作；全部采用绿色材料和低能耗制造技术开发。沿着这些思路，我将使用有机半导体（OSC）来开发高性能光伏电池，而无需使用有毒材料。与光伏中使用的替代传统材料相比，我的方法将易于加工、低成本制造并获得高性能。这将需要适当的器件工程和材料加工策略，以便在刚性和柔性基板上制作高性能 OPV 原型。与此同时，我将利用绿色溶剂和材料开发低功耗电子元件，例如传感器和超级电容器，以便将它们与 OPV 耦合。此类电子设备的操作将主要通过光照来实现，适用于室外和室内条件，将在各种实际应用中得到利用。该奖学金的总体愿景是在物联网行业建立一条新途径，使此类技术能够在难以到达的区域、可穿戴设备和一次性生物传感平台中使用。
