Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration IZMElectrochemical micro-storage and harvesting
Energy autarkic microsystems and intelligent, self-sufficient sensor nodes will lead to completely new applications in the future. The power supply required for this must be an integral part of the early stages of development and requires the cooperation of developers, manufacturers and end users.
Energy autarkic microsystems and intelligent, self-sufficient sensor nodes will lead to completely new applications in the future. The energy supply required for this must be an integral part of the early phases of development and requires the cooperation of developers, manufacturers and end users. Micro-batteries and energy harvesting are keywords in this development. Fraunhofer IZM is working on a number of joint projects with partners from industry and other institutes in this field. In particular, the 3D silicon technologies of the WLSI department, but also innovative circuit board and packaging technologies, are used to miniaturise and integrate energy supply systems. In addition, the necessary equipment and facilities are available to supply, modify and test the electrochemically active materials. In addition to R&D services, testing of primary and secondary batteries, consultancy and testing services are offered.
