Bio‐Based Solar Energy Harvesting for Onsite Mobile Optical Temperature Sensing in Smart Cities
The Internet of Things (IoT) fosters the development of smart city systems for sustainable living and increases comfort for people. One of the current challenges for sustainable buildings is the optimization of energy management. Temperature monitoring in buildings is of prime importance, as heating account for a great part of the total energy consumption. Here, a solar optical temperature sensor is presented with a thermal sensitivity of up to 1.23% °C−1 based on sustainable aqueous solutions of enhanced green fluorescent protein and C‐phycocyanin from biological feedstocks. These photonic sensors are presented under the configuration of luminescent solar concentrators widely proposed as a solution to integrate energy‐generating devices in buildings, as windows or façades. The developed mobile sensor is inserted in IoT context through the development of a self‐powered system able to measure, record, and send data to a user‐friendly website.
