An eco-friendly way to power wireless IoT devices
FOXES is a EU-funded project that aims at establishing a new, eco-friendly paradigm for powering wireless devices of the Internet of Things (IoT). FOXES is an acronym for “Fully Oxide-based Zero-Emission and Portable Energy Supply”.
The goal of the project is to develop FOXES Power Cube – a compact 2 x 2 cm 2 device that combine a high-efficiency solar cell with a multilayer capacitor and an energy management circuit able to ensure full energy-autonomous operation of an IoT sensor node. FOXES Power Cube will be lightweight, free from toxic or rare elements, and will have no negative environmental impact for its end-of-life.
