Perovskite Cells Meet Wearable Biosensor’s Power Demands

Perovskite solar cells are providing a team at Caltech’s Heritage Medical Research Institute with an efficient power source for wearable sweat sensors that monitor a host of biomarkers associated with disease diagnostics and fitness levels. The Caltech researchers have collaborated with a group at Johannes Kepler University Linz (Austria) to power the wearable biosensors with the flexible perovskite solar cells (FPSCs).
