Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have aroused the conspectus attention of scholars due to their extensive deployment in the emerging fields of the Internet of Things (IoT's) and self-driven devices. But WSNs technologies having a major bottleneck has been associated with limited energy. Mostly research in WSNs has been focused on minimizing energy usage to extend the survival time of limited power source in a network. Energy harvesting can be addressing its energy-scarcity problem of WSNs, so it is giving popularity to Energy Harvesting in Wireless Sensor Networks (EH-WSNs). The paper presents a comprehensive taxonomic survey on recently energy harvesting techniques and algorithms that proposed by various authors and also examined the work done by the various researchers in the field of EH-WSNs. For the ready reference of the researchers, a concise summary and comparative analysis of various promising techniques for energy harvesting have also been included in the systematic survey. However, many equipment developed using the hybridization method in a singular package to get full advantages of available free energy, are explored in this review. The review on hybrid energy harvesting (HEH) systems can be considered as the originality of this article. However, the outdoor photovoltaics have been provided maximum power density about ≈100 mW/cm 3 , and the piezoelectric harvesters have been given maximum voltage about 325 V but the current in very minute amount. The thermoelectric, rectenna and hybrid energy harvesters (EHs) have been given high efficiency more than 80%. Additionally, hybrid EHs have location/timeindependent characteristics which harnessed power from more than one source that can be became more popular for upcoming leading technologies of self-driven or autonomous devices shifting from battery operated devices. Finally, the survey also identifies often challenges and various significant issues that still essential to be addressed to develop a cost effective, efficient, long-lasting, and almost maintenance-free energy harvesting systems for WSNs along with trail to their possible solutions for future perspectives.

“…Secondly, all of the rectenna specifications including voltage, DC current and received power were improved using series, parallel, and series‐parallel connections. Subsequent studies in this field were continued by mounting of the FSS structure on the reverse side of the substrate . These structures were used to amplify ground planes of antenna which in turn, lead to improvement of the rectenna radiation pattern in wireless power harvesting.…”

This article presents a frequency selective surface (FSS) and rectenna array in parallel‐series connection to harvest power of wireless power systems. To improve the basic antenna parameters, a frequency selective surface was mounted on the reverse side of the substrate. According to the results, the proposed method showed significant improvement in comparison to other methods in both single and rectenna array. Moreover, the conversion efficiency of the presented technique was increased to 76%. The output voltage of 4.5 and 9 V and the current of 60 and 120 mA were resulted for 5 and 10 rectenna units, respectively. The proposed arrays can be expanded to large scale integrated array without any significant degradation in conversion efficiency.

“…The a priori assumptions are that TV radio coverage extends largely along European countries, TV broadcasting manages important transmitted powers, and RF to DC conversion efficiency can range from 10% to 70%. Thus, the TV frequency band would provide energy enough to support a wireless system with low traffic requirements (cellular communications in remote areas or sensor networks).…”

The widespread use of sensor nodes forces a straightforward, low‐cost, and easy‐to‐implement design of these nodes. Instead of using separate batteries and antennas, this letter proposes a dual‐band microstrip antenna for both communication and energy‐harvesting applications. The energy required for the sensor node is harvested from the broadcast television band and then used in the cellular phone communication band. A previous design of a circular polarized broadband patch antenna is adapted and optimized for the defined requirements with the electromagnetic simulation software CST Studio Suite. The simulations helped in an antenna design with a reflection coefficient below −10 dB in the 600 MHz ‐ 700 MHz television frequency band for the energy harvesting. Furthermore, the antenna is also able to operate in the 850 MHz cellular mobile phone communication band, in order to provide coverage in shadowed remote areas or even to be of use for the transmission of the sensor data. The final design is prototyped and then characterized through the measurement of the reflection coefficient.
