In addition, there were following errors in the article text.

A correction has been made to 4 Applications in self-powered IoT devices, 4.1 Energy harvesting, page 09. This sentence previously stated:

“Nurettin suggested a cantilever energy harvester using PIN-PMN-PT crystals, showing high power output with value of 102W/m³.”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“Gao suggested a cantilever energy harvester using PIN-PMN-PT crystals, showing high power output with value of 102W/m³.”

A correction has been made to 4 Applications in self-powered IoT devices, 4.2 Flexible sensors, page 11. This sentence previously stated:

“On purpose of healthcare monitoring, Nakajima produced thermistor-on-a-polyimide sheet thin-film sensor arrays using strontium- and nickel-doped chalcogenide SmMnO₃ (Nakajima and Tsuchiya, 2020), as shown in Figure 5F. At bending angles of 60° and 20°, thermistor sensor exhibited notable resilience when subjected to a bending angle of 60° and a minimal bending radius of 500 µm. During a bending test including over 1,000 cycles, the observed temperature variation remained within a narrow range of 0.1°C. Sun developed a humidity sensor with a flexible design using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) that were securely affixed to the surface folds of a natural latex membrane (Sun et al., 2023).”

The corrected sentence appears below:
