“… The scholar shows that the piezoelectric wave-energy converter generates electricity only when the wave height is greater than 15 mm [ 116 ]. The unpredictable and low rotational frequency of a tire, space constraints for harvester deployment, and low average output power of a harvester are the main challenges of piezoelectric energy harvesting from a tire [ 120 ]. The significant problems for piezoelectric energy harvesters, according to Rezaei et al [ 121 ], are the low input frequencies of mechanical energy sources and the difficulty of getting piezoelectric harvesters to respond to them efficiently, as well as the performance limit of piezoelectric materials.…”

In the last three decades, smart materials have become popular. The piezoelectric materials have shown key characteristics for engineering applications, such as in sensors and actuators for industrial use. Because of their excellent mechanical-to-electrical and vice versa energy conversion properties, piezoelectric materials with high piezoelectric charge and voltage coefficient have been tested in renewable energy applications. The fundamental component of the energy harvester is the piezoelectric material, which, when subjected to mechanical vibrations or applied stress, induces the displaced ions in the material and results in a net electric charge due to the dipole moment of the unit cell. This phenomenon builds an electric potential across the material. In this review article, a detailed study focused on the piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEH’s) is reported. In addition, the fundamental idea about piezoelectric materials, along with their modeling for various applications, are detailed systematically. Then a summary of previous studies based on PEH’s other applications is listed, considering the technical aspects and methodologies. A discussion has been provided as a critical review of current challenges in this field. As a result, this review can provide a guideline for the scholars who want to use PEH’s for their research.

“…The different material strategies and system designs for wireless energy harvesting were recently reviewed in previous studies. [190] Piezoelectric, [191,192] triboelectric, [193][194][195][196] and pyroelectric [197,198] effects are most often exploited to scavenge energy in nanogenerator technologies. Hybridized nanogenerators exploiting intelligent combinations of the aforementioned effects, as well other effects, are also emerging.…”

Smart piezoelectric materials are of great interest due to their unique properties. Piezoelectric materials can transform mechanical energy into electricity and vice versa. There are mono and polycrystals (piezoceramics), polymers, and composites in the group of piezoelectric materials. Recent years show progress in the applications of piezoelectric materials in biomedical devices due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability. Medical devices such as actuators and sensors, energy harvesting devices, and active scaffolds for neural tissue engineering are continually explored. Sensors and actuators from piezoelectric materials can convert flow rate, pressure, etc., to generate energy or consume it. This paper consists of using smart materials to design medical devices and provide a greater understanding of the piezoelectric effect in the medical industry presently. A greater understanding of piezoelectricity is necessary regarding the future development and industry challenges.
