Abstract

Enerji teknolojik ve ekonomik kalkınma için önemli bir faktördür. Artan çevre bilinciyle birlikte elektronik cihazların hızlı gelişiminin neden olduğu büyük enerji tüketimi, yeşil ve yenilenebilir enerjiyi üretmek ve depolamak için yeni teknoloji gereksinimlerini arttırmıştır. Yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları arasında güneş enerjisi gün geçtikçe önem kazanmaktadır. Çünkü güneş enerjisi dünyadaki en bol, sürdürülebilir ve en temiz enerjidir. Işıktan elektrik üretim teknolojisinin sürekli gelişmesiyle birlikte, güneş enerjisinin diğer konvansiyonel enerjiler içindeki payı gittikçe artmakta ve fosil yakıtlara alternatif haline gelmektedir. Geliştirilen yeni teknolojiler ile güneş enerjisi değişik alanlarda kullanılmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, kendi gücünü sağlayan enerji teknolojisi, elektronik cihazların harici güç kaynağı olmadan sürekli çalışmasını sağlayabildiğinden, gelecekteki giyilebilir elektronikler için oldukça umut vericidir. Günümüzde farklı tipteki esnek güneş hücreleri (EGH’ler) kullanılarak kendi gücünü sağlayan giyilebilir elektronik teknolojiler geliştirilmektedir. Giyilebilir elektronikler son yıllarda büyük ilgi görmekte ve hızlı bir büyüme yaşamaktadır. Bu teknolojiler daha çok eğlence, akıllı izleme, kişisel sağlık ve egzersiz kontrolü amacıyla kullanılmaktadır Bu çalışmada, esnek güneş hücreleri ve bu hücreler kullanılarak geliştirilen kendi gücünü sağlayan giyilebilir elektronik teknolojiler özetlendi. Bu bağlamda, öncelikle, esnek silikon güneş hücreleri (ESGH'ler), esnek perovskit güneş hücreleri (EPGH'ler), esnek organik güneş hücreleri (EOGH 'ler) ve esnek boya duyarlı güneş hücreleri (EBDGH 'ler) ele alındı. Daha sonra esnek güneş hücrelere entegre kendi gücünü sağlayan giyilebilir enerji teknolojilerinden ter izleme, hareket izleme, giyilebilir kumaş, nabız izleme, gaz sensörü ve giyilebilir ekran sistemleri tanıtıldı. Son olarak giyilebilir teknolojilerin ve EGH’lerin önündeki zorluklar ve çözüm yolları ile gelecekteki durumları ile ilgili öngörüler sunuldu.

Flexible Solar Cells Used in Self-Powered Wearable Electronic Technologies

Abstract

Energy is an important factor for technological and economic development. The huge energy consumption caused by the rapid development of electronic devices along with the increasing environmental awareness has increased the new technology requirements to produce and store green and renewable energy. Among the renewable energy sources, solar energy is gaining importance day by day. Because solar energy is the most abundant, sustainable and cleanest energy in the world. With the continuous development of electricity generation technology from light, the share of solar energy in other conventional energies is increasing and it is becoming an alternative to fossil fuels. With the new technologies developed, solar energy is used in different fields. In this context, self-powered energy technology is highly promising for future wearable electronics, as it can ensure continuous operation of electronic devices without external power supply. Today, self-powered wearable electronic technologies are being developed using different types of flexible solar cells (EGHs). Wearable electronics have attracted great interest in recent years and are experiencing rapid growth. These technologies are mostly used for entertainment, smart monitoring, personal health and exercise control. In this study, flexible solar cells and self-powered wearable electronic technologies developed using these cells are summarized. In this context, first of all, flexible silicon solar cells (ESGHs), flexible perovskite solar cells (EPGHs), flexible organic solar cells (EOGHs), and flexible dye-sensitized solar cells (EBDGHs) were discussed. Later, sweat monitoring, motion monitoring, wearable fabric, heart rate monitoring, gas sensor and wearable display systems, which are self-powered wearable energy technologies integrated into flexible solar cells, were introduced. Finally, the challenges in front of wearable technologies and EGHs, solutions and predictions about their future situations were presented.
