Perspective—Application of Micro Photosynthetic Power Cells for IoT in Automotive Industry

Abstract

Global warming is increasing at the alarming rate in the recent years. One of the best solutions to reduce the global warming is generation of power from the carbon neutral and negative technologies. In view of this, harvesting energy from the photosynthesis is one of the best viable solution. The Microphotosynthetic cell ( μ PSC), presented in this work, functions on the principle of photosynthesis and respiration. Typical power produced by a μ PSC varies in the range of 0.1–10 mW. In this paper, we discussed the potential applications of the Microphotosynthetic power cells to the automotive sector and Autonomous Vehicles (AV).
