This year will see the launch of a number of devices equipped with an innovative material called Powerfoyle, which transforms any light source into energy, so that there is little or no need to recharge them.
Several years ago, Swedish startup Exeger developed Powerfoyle, a new solar cell technology capable of efficiently converting all forms of light into electrical energy. Particularly flexible and customizable, it can theoretically be applied to a wide range of electronic devices, promising record operating times. In fact, this innovation makes it possible to power an electronic device, even indoors, without the need for traditional recharging.
In theory, this technology – in the form of small, customizable modules – can be integrated into different types of products, such as headphones, remote controls or various smart home sensors. In both its design and its use, Powerfoyle promises to be entirely environmentally friendly.
In the past, Exegher has formed several partnerships with brands, such as in 2022 for the Adidas Headphones range. Their removable, washable headband transforms all forms of natural or artificial light into energy, for virtually infinite battery life.
At CES 2025, Exeger presented several new products in collaboration with various manufacturers, including headphones with Philips, hearing protection with 3M, a connected helmet for cyclists with Cosonic, and an air-conditioning remote control with SMK.
In this case, the aim is to eliminate the need for batteries. Exeger's motivation is obviously to integrate its sustainable energy solutions into as many everyday devices as possible. Particularly ambitious, the Swedish company is seeking to change the lives of a billion people by 2030. – AFP Relaxnews
