The need for a more sustainable and accessible source of energy is increasing as human
society advances. The use of different metallic materials and their challenges in current and …

This paper presents a high performance piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH) with a
rectangular hole to work at low-frequency. This PEH used thinned bulk PZT film on flexible …

This study presents the experimental characterization and finite element investigation of a
piezoelectric nanogenerator based on electrospun poly (vinylidene difluoride)(PVDF) …

Optimized MEMS piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters with maximum possible power
generation have been proposed. The energy harvesters work based on the transduction of …

In the present paper, guided four beam (G4B) piezoelectric transducers with enhanced
sensitivities have been designed. Based on the suggested G4B structures, piezoelectric …

This paper presents design optimization of a stiffness component in a vibration energy
harvester–diaphragm spring–for structural robustness and reliable power generation in …

Achieving broadband energy harvesting at low frequencies is a difficult area of research
today. To solve the aforementioned problems, herein, a nonlinear sickle‐shaped cantilever …

Polyvinyl alcohol fiber reinforced engineered cementitious composite (PVA-ECC) using
piezoelectric polymer film has attracted significant interest due to its energy harvesting …

Piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs) in the literature typically operate with a single
conversion mechanism (either d 31 or d 33); the output power, therefore, is limited, and not …

Motivated to run a self-powering monitoring sensor on a wind turbine blade, this paper
proposes a pendulum based frequency-up converter that effectively captures a low-speed …
