Perovskite/Polymer Nanofiber Composite for Energy Harvesting
Scientists have developed a stretchable, breathable, lead-free perovskite/polymer nanofiber composite for hybrid triboelectric and piezoelectric energy harvesting. Essentially a fabric that can produce electricity from movement of the wearer. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adma.202200042 Source: Ebatco Nano newsletter
Ultrathin fuel cell uses the body’s own sugar to generate electricity
Engineers at MIT and the Technical University of Munich have designed a new kind of glucose fuel cell that converts glucose directly into electricity. The device is smaller than other proposed glucose fuel cells, measuring just 400 nanometers thick, or about 1/100 the diameter of a human hair. The sugary power source generates about 43 …

Heliogen (HLGN)
Heliogen (HLGN) which makes solar concentrators also known as CSP (Concentrating Solar Power) – arrays of mirrors that concentrate sunlight. They can use the resulting heat directly for industrial process that require heat, or to generate electrical power, or to create green hydrogen for fuel.
