description

In this paper, for the first time, the design of a solar energy-harvester (EH) based on plasmonic optical nanorectennas and without the step-up converter is presented. The novel optical harvester with a 49497∗14286 nanoarray of about 21,21 mm2 presents an output voltage value of 3.3 V and an output current of 10 mA.
