Author(s): Angela Keszeliová and Anita Kleinová
Abstract: In recent years, the quest for sustainable and autonomous power sources has intensified, driving significant advancements in energy harvesting technologies. Energy harvesting, the process of capturing and converting ambient energy sources into usable electrical power, presents a promising pathway to meet the growing energy demands of various applications, including Internet of Things (IoT) devices, wearable technology, and remote sensors. Central to the efficiency and effectiveness of these energy harvesting systems are the circuit technologies that manage and convert harvested energy. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the progress in circuit technologies designed to enhance the performance of energy harvesting systems. We delve into the evolution of these technologies, highlighting breakthroughs in material science, microelectronics, nanotechnology, and design methodologies that have led to the development of circuits that are more efficient, smaller, and capable of operating with lower power consumption than ever before. By showcasing recent advancements and emerging trends, this review not only charts the current landscape but also identifies challenges and limitations that persist in scaling and optimizing these technologies. Furthermore, we explore future directions for research and development, underscoring the interdisciplinary efforts required to push the boundaries of what is possible in energy harvesting circuit technologies. Through this exploration, the paper aims to illuminate the path forward for researchers and practitioners alike, emphasizing the critical role of innovative circuit solutions in realizing the full potential of energy harvesting technologies for a more sustainable future.
