This book explains the state-of-the-art green piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) technology. It highlights different aspects of PEH, starting right from the materials, their synthesis, and characterization techniques to applications. Various types of materials, including ceramics, polymers, composites, and bio-inspired compounds in nano, micro, and meso scale and their recent advancements are captured in detail with special focus on lead-free systems. Different challenges and issues faced while designing a PEH are also included.
Features:
- Guides on how to harvest piezoelectric energy in a sustainable manner
- Describes related figures of merit for piezoelectric energy harvesting
- Covers synthesis of piezoelectric materials in the form of bulk, single crystal, nano, and thin/thick film
- Includes pertinent advanced characterization techniques
- Reviews piezo-energy harvesting devices and structures
This book is aimed at researchers, professionals, and graduate students in electrical engineering, materials, and energy.
