Multiple parameter environment monitoring via wireless Internet of Thing sensors is growing rapidly, thanks to low power techniques of the node. More importantly, the ever more complex and highly efficient energy harvesting systems enable long-term continuous monitoring in inaccessible environments without needing to change the battery. This paper reviews existing energy harvesting modalities, including photovoltaic, piezoelectric, pyroelectric, electromagnetic, and vibration, together with circuit techniques of interfacing power management circuits for energy harvesters. Moreover, techniques used to interface with multiple mode energy harvesters to obtain a stable output power with optimal power efficiency are discussed as an emerging direction. The state-of-the-art energy harvesting systems together with future development trends are provided.

A novel magnetic 2D/2D heterogeneous structure MXene@NiFe-LDH@Fe₃O₄ was prepared for immobilization of laccase. In this work, two-dimensional MXene nanosheets with abundant surface functional groups were heterogeneously assembled with layered double hydroxide (LDH) by in situ co-precipitation method, and magnetic nanoparticle Fe₃O₄ with excellent biocompatibility and rapid separation of materials and substrates was introduced subsequently, and then silane coupling agent was coated on the surface of MXene@NiFe-LDH@Fe₃O₄. The functionalized MXene@NiFe-LDH@Fe₃O₄ was employed as a carrier to immobilize laccase from Trametes-Versicolor. The enzyme loading of the nanocomposite material is as high as 167.9 mg/g. Compared with free enzymes, the immobilized laccase showed a notable improvement in stability in a wider range of pHs (2.0–8.0), temperatures (25–60 °C), and organic solvent concentration (1–5 M). The reusability study suggested that after 7 cycles of repeated catalysis, the degradation efficiency could reach 55.5% for 2,4-dichlorophenol, 92.1% for bisphenol A and70.9% for pyrocatechol. The results provide a new carrier preparation strategy for the efficient immobilization of laccase.
