Powering wearable

Powering wearable devices by human heat with highly efficient, flexible, bio-inspired generators (PowerbyU)

Self-powered wearable electronic devices will be key technologies for future portable electronic systems in the Internet of Everything (IoE). However, their potential is limited because of their need for batteries, which are bulky, heavy, lack the flexibility to be adapted to the human body...

Cooling for Electricity Production: Battery-free (COOLed)

COOLed will explore the development of an innovative battery-free technology to generate electricity using cold space in any place and at any time. COOLed proposes the powering of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in smart cities. This novel technology will combine a radiative cooler based on tri-dimensional (3D) polymer metamaterials and a thermoelectric generator of 2D transition metal selenides.

FINDER Research Group

Functional Nanoscale Devices for Energy. Our research is devoted to the improvement of the energy recovery efficiency of different materials and devices via nanostructuration.

Our Team

The group was born in 2010, thanks to ERC Starting Grant awarded to Prof. Marisol Martín.

It is an interdisciplinary group which comprises researchers with a background in chemistry, materials, physics, and engineering who work togehter with a common aim.

Research lines

Energy Harvesting

Metamaterials

Publications

The group has published mostly in Q1 journals, with works devoted to thermoelectric nanostructures, structural coloration, magnetic metamaterials, etc.

Our Research Team

Under the direction of Prof. Marisol Martín, a multidisciplinar group united by the common aim of improving the energy consumption in a sustainable way has ben formed.
