Customer
The project SYMPHONY receives funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No. 862095.
Project partners
The project, coordinated by JOANNEUM RESEARCH, comprises 13 top innovators (research institutions and companies) from 4 European countries.
Project details
Technologies
The self-sufficient energy supply platform consists entirely of printed, recyclable and non-toxic materials, including the ferroelectric polymer P(VDF-TrFE), printable Si-based rectifiers, redox polymer-based batteries and cellulose-based supercapacitors. The SYMPHONY project provides cost-effective and scalable methods for printing these materials on flexible films and combining them with energy-efficient electronics and sensor technologies.
Benefit
The solutions developed in SYMPHONY have the potential to significantly reduce CO2 emissions by extending the lifetime of wind turbines, enabling smart floors that make space heating/cooling more efficient through presence and motion tracking, and reducing the energy consumption of e-bikes through continuous tyre pressure monitoring. In addition, the printed technology developed in the project can be cost-effectively integrated into stretchable and flexible applications, which represents enormous potential for use in a wide range of IoT-enabled applications.
