## Description

The photonic thin-film battery is an advanced energy-harvesting solution that stands out from traditional solar cells and amorphous silicon photonic cells due to its higher conversion efficiency and output power. Made with organic materials, it is free from harmful substances and rare metals. The thin-film flexible design, with a thickness of just 0.2mm, allows it to penetrate radio waves and easily integrate with antennas. Even in indoor lighting environments as low as 50Lux, this photonic thin-film battery can effectively generate power, making it ideal for various low-light energy harvesting applications. For optimal performance, it is recommended to pair this product with the DFM8001 Ambient Energy Harvesting Module or the DFM8001 Indoor Ambient Energy Harvesting Kit. With an open circuit voltage of 3.8V, a short circuit current of 147uA, and output power ranging from 418uW at 500Lux to 35uW at 50Lux, this battery is designed to perform efficiently in diverse lighting conditions. The battery consists of six cells, each measuring 50x50x0.2mm, and has a total size of 71.5x60x0.2mm. It operates efficiently within a temperature range of -20°C to 40°C and humidity levels of 0 to 85% RH. These features make it perfect for indoor photonic energy harvesting, smart home applications, self-powered IoT nodes, and industrial monitoring. Thin and Flexible Design With a thickness of only 0.2mm, the flexible design allows for easy integration into various devices and systems, making it versatile and adaptable to different applications. High Efficiency in Low Light Unlike traditional energy harvesting solutions, this photonic thin-film battery can generate effective power even in low-light conditions as low as 50Lux. This capability ensures a reliable power source for indoor environments where light levels vary. Environmentally Friendly Manufactured with organic materials, the battery does not contain any harmful substances or rare metals. This makes it a sustainable and eco-friendly choice for energy harvesting applications. Application Suitability The photonic thin-film battery is particularly suited for indoor photonic energy harvesting, smart home systems, self-powered IoT nodes, and industrial monitoring. Its ability to efficiently generate power in low-light conditions ensures continuous operation of low-power devices without frequent maintenance or battery replacements. This makes it an ideal choice for environments where consistent and reliable energy is crucial.FEATURES Thickness is only 0.2mm Thin film design, flexible and bendable Effective power can be output even in low light of 50Lux indoors APPLICATIONS Indoor photonic energy harvesting Smart home energy harvesting Self-powered IoT node Industrial monitoring SPECIFICATION Open circuit voltage: 3.8V Short circuit current: 147uA Output power: 418uW@500Lux, 155uW@200Lux, 75uW@100Lux, 35uW@50Lux Number of battery cells: 6 Battery cell size: 50x50x0.2mm Total size: 71.5x60x0.2mm Operating temperature: -20°C~40°C Operating humidity: 0~85%RH Note: Performance parameters are measured in the following environment: 500Lux warm white LED lighting, white background, ambient temperature 22±2℃, relative humidity 45±2 %RH SHIPPING LIST Low Light Collection Flexible Light Energy Thin Film Battery (50x50 3.8V) x1
