Energy harvesting technologies converting external sources (such as thermal energy, vibration and mechanical energy from the nature sources of wind, waves or animal movements) into electrical energy is recently a highly demanding issue in the materials science community for making sustainable green environments. In particular, fabrication of usable nanogenerator attract the attention of many researchers because it can scavenge even the biomechanical energy inside the human body (such as heart beat, blood flow, muscle stretching, or eye blinking) by converging harvesting technology with implantable bio-devices. Herein, we describe procedure suitable for generating and printing a lead-free microstructured $BaTiO_3$ thin film nanogenerator on plastic substrates to overcome limitations appeared in conventional flexible ferroelectric devices. Flexible $BaTiO_3$ thin film nanogenerator was fabricated and the piezoelectric properties and mechanically stability of ferroelectric devices were characterized. From the results, we demonstrate the highly efficient and stable performance of $BaTiO_3$ thin film nanogenerator and the integration of bio-eco-compatible ferroelectric materials may enable innovative opportunities for artificial skin and energy harvesting system.

As energy harvesting communication systems emerge, there is a need for transmission schemes that dynamically adapt to the energy harvesting process. In this paper, after exhibiting a finite-horizon online throughput-maximizing scheduling problem formulation and the structure of its optimal solution within a dynamic programming formulation, a low complexity online scheduling policy is proposed. The policy exploits the existence of thresholds for choosing rate and power levels as a function of stored energy, harvest state and time until the end of the horizon. The policy, which is based on computing an expected threshold, performs close to optimal on a wide range of example energy harvest patterns. Moreover, it achieves higher throughput values for a given delay, than throughput-optimal online policies developed based on infinite-horizon formulations in recent literature. The solution is extended to include ergodic time-varying (fading) channels, and a corresponding low complexity policy is proposed and evaluated for this case as well.

We have developed novel lanthanide-cored supramolecular systems with highly efficient light-harvesting dendritic arrays for integrated planar waveguide-typed amplifiers. Er$^{3+}$ ions were encapsulated by the supramolecular ligands, such as porphyrins and macrobicyclics. The supramolecular ligands have been designed and synthesized to provide enough coordination sites for the formation of stable Er(III)-chelated complexes. For getting a higher optical amplification gain, also, the energy levels of the supramolecular ligands were tailored to maintain the effective energy transfer process from supramolecular ligands to erbium(III) ions. Furthermore, to maximize the light-harvesting effect, new aryl ether-functionalized dendrons as photon antennas have been incorporated into lanthanide-cored supramolecular systems. In this paper, molecular design, synthesis and luminescent properties of novel lanthanide-cored integrated supramolecular systems with highly efficient light-harvesting dendritic arrays will be discussed.d.

PURPOSES : An conventional method for electric power generation is converting thermal energy into mechanical energy then to electrical energy. Due to environmental issues such as global warming related with $CO_2$ emission etc., were the limiting factor for the energy resources which resulting in extensive research and novel technologies are required to generate electric power. Thermal energy harvesting using thermoelectric generator is one of energy harvesting technologies due to diverse advantages for new green technology. This paper presents a possibility of application of the thermoelectric generator's application in the direct exchange of waste solar energy into electrical power in road space. METHODS : To measure generated electric power of the thermoelectric generator, data logger was adopted as function of experimental factors such as using cooling sink, connection methods etc. Also, the thermoelectric generator、s behavior at low ambient temperature was investigated as measurement of output voltage vs. elapsed times. RESULTS : A few temperature difference between top an bottom of the thermoelectric generator is generated electric voltage. Components of an electrical circuit can be connected in various ways. The two simplest of these are called series and parallel and occur so open. Series shows slightly better performance in this study. An installation of cooling sink in the thermoelectric generator system was enhanced the output of power voltage. CONCLUSIONS : In this paper, a basic concepts of thermoelectric power generation is presented and applications of the thermoelectric generator to waste solar energy in road is estimated for green energy harvesting technology. The possibility of usage of thermoelectric technology for road facilities was found under the ambient thermal gradient between two surfaces of the thermoelectric module. An experiment results provide a testimony of the feasibility of the proposed environmental energy harvesting technology on the road facilities.

As the available resources are gradually depleted, interest in renewable energy is increasing. Various energy harvesting technologies are emerging, and energy harvesting using solar, solar, and wind power is used in the highest range. Depending on the abnormal climate, solar heat and solar power differ in energy harvest, but the wind is fixed compared to the sun. Therefore, it was intended to maximize the effect of energy harvesting by using the venturi effect, which has a change in wind speed according to the turbine used for wind power generation and wind pressure. Therefore, in this paper, we want to see the difference in the amount of power generated by the turbine after increasing the wind speed using the venturi effect.

센서네트워크의 전력문제를 해결할 수 있는 에너지 수집형 무선 센서네트워크 (EH-WSN)에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. EH-WSN에서는 에너지 수집과 소비의 균형을 맞추기 위한 on-off 듀티싸이클링에 관한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 그러나 환경감시를 위한 EH-WSN에서 센싱된 데이터의 긴급성과 에너지 수집율은 네트워크의 성능을 결정하는 중요한 요소가 된다. 따라서 단순히 전력의 균형 상태를 유지하는 것 이외에 센싱된 데이터의 중요도 및 에너지 수집율에 따라 듀티싸이클 주기를 조절할 필요성이 대두된다. 본 논문에서는 환경감시를 위한 EH-WSN에서 기존의 전력만을 고려한 on-off 듀티싸이클링의 문제점을 분석하고, 센싱값의 변화율 및 크기값에 의한 센싱 데이터의 우선순위 및 에너지 수집율 등을 고려하여 적응적으로 on-off 주기를 결정하는 듀티싸이클 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 듀티싸이클 스케줄링의 성능을 분석하였다.
