“…The electrical system harvesting peaked at 1.9 V and 24 nA with an external load of 80 MΩ. Thus, it is shown how to integrate an energy‐harvesting system into clothing solutions to make use of the mechanical energy of the natural human motion . Following the PVC approach, the energy harvesting of a microfiber composite (MFC) piezoelectric energy harvester in the water vortex‐shedding field was developed, to obtain energy from the vibrations traveling through a liquid.…”

Energy harvesting from the environment based on electroactive polymers has been increasing in recent years. Ferroelectric polymers are used as mechanical‐to‐electrical energy transducers in a wide range of applications, scavenging the surrounding energy to power low‐power devices. These energy‐harvesting systems operate by taking advantage of the piezoelectric, pyroelectric, and magnetoelectric properties of the polymers, harvesting wasted environmental energy and converting it mainly into electrical energy. There have been developed different nano‐ and micro‐scale power harvesters with an increasing interest for powering mobile electronics and low‐power devices, including applications in remote access areas. Novel electronic devices are developed based on low‐power solutions, and therefore, polymer‐based materials represent a suitable solution to power these devices. Among the different polymers, the most widely used in the device application is the poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) family, due to its higher output performance.

High dielectric constant (k) polymer nanocomposites have shown great potential in dielectric and energy storage applications in the past few decades. The introduction of high-k nanomaterials into ferroelectric polymers has proven to be a promising strategy for the fabrication of high-k nanocomposites. One-dimensional large-aspect-ratio nanowires exhibit superiority in enhancing k values and energy density of polymer nanocomposites in comparison to their spherical counterparts. However, the impact of their intrinsic properties on the dielectric properties of polymer nanocomposites has been seldom investigated. Herein, four kinds of nanowires (Na2Ti3O7, TiO2, BaTiO3, and SrTiO3) with different inherent characteristics are elaborately selected to fabricate high-k ferroelectric polymer nanocomposites. Dopamine functionalization facilitates the excellent dispersion of these nanowires in the ferroelectric polymer matrix because of the strong polymer/nanowire interfacial adhesion. A thorough comparative study on the dielectric properties and energy storage capability of the nanowires-based nanocomposites has been presented. The results reveal that, among the four types of nanowires, BaTiO3 NWs show the best potential in improving the energy storage capability of the proposed nanocomposites, resulting from the most signficant increase of k while retaining the rather low dielectric loss and leakage current.

“…These types of power sources are classified as abiotic since they rely on non‐biological components to generate electricity. Several forms of wearable abiotic energy sources have been developed over the past decade in the form of wearable batteries 15–17, solar cells 18–20, thermoelectric devices 21, 22, or piezoelectric/triboelectric devices 23–24. These energy sources have been utilized to power wearable devices, such as watch, LEDs, or antennas.…”

This review describes recent advances in the emerging field of wearable biofuel cells. The needs for developing viable energy sources to power wearable electronics are discussed along with the prospects of harvesting usable electrical energy from metabolites present in biofluids. Particular attention is given to recently developed strategies for harnessing energy from sweat and tears using non‐invasive and minimally‐invasive enzymatic biofuel cells to power wearable devices. Such efforts to develop wearable biofuel cell are discussed with special emphasis to the challenges facing this field, and possible routes to address these issues and moving the field forward. Finally, we also discuss the future prospects and opportunities that will enable new and exciting wearable biofuel‐cell energy harvesting platforms for catering to various wearable applications.
