Abstract

The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) in smart farming is hindered by limited battery life and the environmental impact of electronic waste. This review evaluates the development of energy-harvesting materials as a solution to power autonomous agricultural sensors. Through a systematic review, this paper analyzes three main mechanisms: Organic Photovoltaic (OPV), triboelectric nanogenerator/piezoelectric nanogenerator (TENG/PENG), and thermoelectric generator (TEG). Flexible polymers for TENGs and perovskite-based solar cells have the highest potential in addressing canopy shading and outdoor weather challenges. However, material toxicity and degradation due to UV and humidity remain major obstacles. Future research must prioritize biocompatible materials and hybrid systems to ensure the sustainability of precision agriculture.
