Ultrasound-induced wireless energy harvesting: From materials strategies to functional applications
Open accessAbstract
Wireless energy harvesting represents an emerging technology that can be integrated into a variety of systems for biomedical, physical, and chemical functions. The miniaturization and ease of implementation are the main challenges for the development of wireless energy harvesting systems. Unlike most reported wireless energy harvesting technologies represented by electromagnetic coupling, the new generation of ultrasound-induced wireless energy harvesting (UWEH) that use propagating ultrasound waves to carry the available energy provides a strategy with higher resolution, deeper penetration, and more security, especially in nanodevices and implantable medical systems where a long-term stable power is required. Recently, advances in nanotechnologies, microelectronics, and biomedical systems are revolutionizing UWEH. In this article, an overview of recent developments in UWEH technologies that use a variety of material strategies and system designs based on the piezoelectric and capacitive energy harvesting mechanisms is provided. Practical applications are also presented, including wireless power for bio-implantable devices, direct cell/tissue electrical stimulations, wireless recording and communication in nervous systems, ultrasonic modulated drug delivery, self-powered acoustic sensors, and ultrasound-induced piezoelectric catalysis. Finally, perspectives and opportunities are also highlighted.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
