We're happy to share the "Sustainable Power Unit" which we've developed with Nexperia, Jiva & Epishine. Together, we are pioneering eco-friendly solutions that reduce environmental impact throughout the lifecycle of the product, while enabling innovative IoT applications.
The Sustainable Power Unit showcases how our technologies can deliver powerful, sustainable, and scalable solutions for the future. At the heart of it is the Ligna S-Power 2S supercapacitor, combined with Nexperia’s NEH2000BY Power Management IC, Epishine’s organic solar cell, and Jiva’s fully recyclable PCB. This solution enables the harvesting of ambient energy (light) to power IoT devices with minimal environmental footprint and easier recycling at end of life.
Key features and benefits:
• Ligna S-Power 2S eco-friendly supercapacitor, made of bio-organic materials, free from toxic chemicals, PFAS, and metals like lithium.
• Epishine organic solar cells, optimized to harvest low-energy ambient light.
• Jiva Soluboard PCB, the world’s first fully recyclable printed circuit board substrate with over a 60% lower carbon footprint than market incumbents.
• Nexperia NEH2000BY Power Management IC, efficiently harvesting ambient energy to power the board and reduce the need for battery replacement.
• Integrated humidity and temperature sensors with Bluetooth connectivity for seamless data transmission to devices such as mobile phones or communication nodes.
Target applications:
• Low-power electronics with limited battery life, e.g., sensors.
• Space-constrained applications, benefitting from the compact design of Ligna Energy’s supercapacitor, Nexperia’s inductorless IC, and Epishine’s ultra-thin solar cells.
• IoT sensor devices for PropTech applications, asset tracking, or food safety control.
