mainly performed by using micro and nanotechnologies (such as superlattices
or quantum dots).
For solar energy harvesting, photovoltaic cells are probably the most
advanced and robust solution. They are already used in many applications
and for most of them, today’s solutions are sufficient. Yet, for IoT devices, it
could be interesting to improve the photovoltaic cells efficiency to decrease
photovoltaic cells’ sizes and to harvest energy in even darker places.
2.11 IoT Related Standardisation
The IERC previous SRAs [19, 29] addresses the topic of standardisation and
is focused on the actual needs of producing specific standards. This chapter
examines further standardisation considerations.
