Introducing perovskites to the IoT world using photovoltaic-powered ID tags

Billions of everyday objects could benefit from being augmented with sensors and wireless data transmitters. The prospect of developing advanced battery-powered sensors and smart devices with on-board radio and computing power has been a recent research direction for the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT devices enable us to build powerful data-driven applications by acquiring rich environmental information about an object. Often these devices are powered by batteries or direct power to run the electronics and transmit the information. Battery-powered devices are expensive and require frequent battery replacements resulting in higher maintenance costs that limit their pervasive implementation. Demand for low-cost wireless connectivity presents a huge potential to use passive sensors to augment everyday objects. Passive sensors based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) provide an inexpensive, scalable and energy efficient way to gather environmental information.
