This review discusses various battery technologies essential for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, highlighting their energy characteristics, types, and operational behaviors. It examines both primary (disposable) and secondary (rechargeable) batteries, including their chemistries, energy densities, discharge rates, and suitability for different applications. The review emphasizes the crucial role of batteries in ensuring reliable performance of IoT modules and explores energy harvesting methods as solutions for battery depletion. Key battery features such as size, capacity, longevity, and environmental factors are also addressed.

Batteries • Cheap • Easy to use • Rechargeable batteries available • Lithium Ion batteries with high capacity • Charging is simple and easy • Size of batteries is a problem • AA battery defines the size of many devices • Environment (temperature) has influence on the capacity
Battery Characteristics • Size • Physical: button, AAA, AA, C, D, ... • Energy density (watts per gram or cm3) • Longevity • Capacity (Ah, for drain of C/10 at 20°C) • Number of recharge cycles • Discharge characteristics (voltage drop)
Further Characteristics • Cost • Behavioral factors • Temperature range (storage, operation) • Self discharge • Memory effect • Environmental factors • Leakage, gassing, toxicity • Shock resistance
Primary (Disposable) Batteries • Zinc carbon (flashlights, toys) • Heavy duty zinc chloride (radios, recorders) • Alkaline (all of the above) • Lithium (photoflash) • Silver, mercury oxide (hearing aid, watches) • Zinc air
Secondary (Rechargeable) Batteries • Nickel cadmium • Nickel metal hydride • Alkaline • Lithium ion • Lithium ion polymer • Lead acid
Nickel Cadmium Batteries • Chemistry Cadmium (-), nickel hydroxide (+) Potassium hydroxide aqueous electrolyte • Features • Rugged, long life, economical • Good high discharge rate (for power tools) • Relatively low energy density • Toxic
NiCd Recharging • Over 1000 cycles (if properly maintained) • Fast, simple charge (even after long storage) C/3 to 4C with temperature monitoring • Self discharge 10% in first day, then 10%/mo Trickle charge (C/16) will maintain charge • Memory effect (Medium Effect over time)
NiMH Recharging • Less prone to memory than NiCd • Shallow discharge better than deep Degrades after 200-300 deep cycles Need regular full discharge to avoid crystals • Self discharge 1.5-2.0 more than NiCd • Longer charge time than for NiCd To avoid overheating
Secondary Alkaline Batteries • Features • 50 cycles at 50% discharge • No memory effect • Shallow discharge better than deeper
Lithium Ion Batteries • Chemistry Graphite (-), cobalt or manganese (+) Nonaqueous electrolyte • Features • 40% more capacity than NiCd • Flat discharge (like NiCd) • Self-discharge 50% less than NiCd • Expensive
Lithium Ion Recharging • 300 cycles • 50% capacity at 500 cycles
Lithium Ion Polymer Batteries • Chemistry Graphite (-), cobalt or manganese (+) Nonaqueous electrolyte • Features • Slim geometry, flexible shape, light weight • Potentially lower cost (but currently expensive) • Higher discharge • Lower energy density, fewer cycles than Li-ion
Energy harvesting • Capacity of battery limits the lifetime of the device • Battery depletion -> Device cannot work -> (Sensor) network cannot work • Idea: recharge the batteries during operation • Use energy from the environment • Current approaches • Photovoltaics: Solar modules for sensor nodes • Thermoelectric generators • Conversion of temperature differences to energy • Kinetic energy conversion • Piezo-electric principle already tested for shoes • MEMS gas turbines • Convert air- or fluid streams
