Bio mass-derived Microsupercapacitors for IoT devices

Objective

The increasing importance of the Internet of Things (IoT) for applications within e.g. climate monitoring for agriculture, water quality measurements or industrial process control drives the development of compact microelectronic systems for portable wireless sensors. In consequence, the demand for miniaturised energy storage systems is growing rapidly.
In our ERC-funded research, we have invented a novel method for fabrication of biomass-derived 3D electrodes for electrochemical energy storage with custom-made dimensions and shape. Within BioMiCap, our objective is to transition from laboratory-scale single electrode studies with aqueous electrolytes into a commercially relevant encapsulated microsupercapacitor (SC) device with thermally stable electrolytes. Compared to existing SC, our electrodes are binder-free, without metal current collector and recyclable. The use of additive manufacturing technology allows for the fabrication of custom-made miniaturized energy storage devices for specific IoT applications.
We will validate the biomass-derived SC as a sustainable and green power source for IoT devices through field tests in collaboration with our industrial partners. The innovation process includes an analysis of commercial feasibility, a follow-up on the existing IP strategy and the development of a business strategy that enables the commercial exploitation of the SC by a spin-off company.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
