Energy storage chip field

What is the field of energy storage?

In the field of energy storage, research on single nanowire electrochemical devices, individual nanosheet electrochemical devices, and on-chip micro-supercapacitors is presented. Finally, a brief analysis of current on-chip devices are provided, followed by a discussion of the future development of micro/nano devices.

What are the different types of micro/nano on-chip energy storage devices?

Three kinds of micro/nano on-chip energy storage devices are introduced in this section: single nanowire electrochemical devices, individual nanosheet electrochemical devices, and on-chip supercapacitors. The demand for miniature energy storage devices increases their application potential.

Are on-chip micro/nano devices useful in energy conversion and storage?

On-chip micro/nano devices haven’t been widely applied in the field of energy conversion and storage despite their potential. This may be attributed to the complex configurations of energy devices and the immature theoretical models.

Why do we need reliable on-chip energy and power sources?

With the general trend of miniaturization of electronic devices especially for the Internet of Things (IoT) and implantable medical applications, there is a growing demand for reliable on-chip energy and power sources.

What is a complex on-chip micro/nano device?

A complex on-chip micro/nano device is designed to extract and record the signal of specific materials and local regions, especially individual nanomaterials. That is the essence of the complex on-chip device. Energy-based on-chip micro/nano devices have roots in physical devices and have evolved into a unique and significant research platform.

Why should we use on-chip micro/nano devices in nanoscale energy harvesting?

On-chip micro/nano devices are significantly easier to focus on one individual nanomaterial or specific region, thereby achieving accurate in situ assessments. Moreover, they hold great promise for use in nanoscale energy harvesting due to their high energy conversion efficiencies.
