Artificial Light Driven Power Generation and IoT Device Convergence

This special issue introduces artificial photovoltaic cell technology as a new vision of solar cells that can generate electricity using an indoor lighting source. In particular, organic artificial photocell materials and device technologies are described. Basic driving mechanisms and material-process technology for high-efficiency artificial photovoltaics are introduced; furthermore, actual application research cases, such as wireless IoT sensor driving, are described. Wireless power management technology is very important to establish future social values such as a ubiquitous society and a carbon-neutral society. Instead of placing an object in a place where power can be supplied, power should be supplied by necessity anytime and anywhere, thereby maintaining a more effective global energy balance and rapidly implementing a society with zero carbon emission. If Indoor light sources, which are energy sources that are discarded, pia identification can be used, they can efficiently maximize energy use in architectural spaces such as homes and offices and contribute much in terms of the environment.
