The webinar will focus on the use of silicon solar cell arrays, coupled with a thin film lithium ion battery, to provide an efficient and low-cost power supply for outdoor and subdermal medical implants. The use of silicon, which enables high-energy conversion efficiencies and low toxicity, can also pave the way for large scale integration on a low-power wireless chip, a critical step for massively reducing cost.
Join Professor Alison Lennon in exploring the potential and technology required for solar powered IoT sensors and subdermal medical implants.
