From last few decades, piezoelectric materials have played a vital role as a mechanism of energy harvesting, as they have the tendency to absorb energy from the environment and transform it to electrical energy that can be used to drive electronic devices directly or indirectly. The power of electronic circuits has been cut down to nano or micro watts, which leads towards the development of self-designed piezoelectric transducers that can overcome power generation problems and can be self-powered. Moreover, piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs) can reduce the need for batteries, resulting in optimization of the weight of structures. These mechanisms are of great interest for many researchers, as piezoelectric transducers are capable of generating electric voltage in response to thermal, electrical, mechanical and electromagnetic input. In this review paper, Fluid Structure Interaction-based, human-based, and vibration-based energy harvesting mechanisms were studied. Moreover, qualitative and quantitative analysis of existing PEH mechanisms has been carried out.

Energy Harvesting Research: The Road from Single Source to Multisource

Energy harvesting technology may be considered an ultimate solution to replace batteries and provide a long-term power supply for wireless sensor networks. Looking back into its research history, individual energy harvesters for the conversion of single energy sources into electricity are developed first, followed by hybrid counterparts designed for use with multiple energy sources. Very recently, the concept of a truly multisource energy harvester built from only a single piece of material as the energy conversion component is proposed. This review, from the aspect of materials and device configurations, explains in detail a wide scope to give an overview of energy harvesting research. It covers single-source devices including solar, thermal, kinetic and other types of energy harvesters, hybrid energy harvesting configurations for both single and multiple energy sources and single material, and multisource energy harvesters. It also includes the energy conversion principles of photovoltaic, electromagnetic, piezoelectric, triboelectric, electrostatic, electrostrictive, thermoelectric, pyroelectric, magnetostrictive, and dielectric devices. This is one of the most comprehensive reviews conducted to date, focusing on the entire energy harvesting research scene and providing a guide to seeking deeper and more specific research references and resources from every corner of the scientific community.

to produce a new generation of smart garments.Such affordable smart garments could fulfil diverse applications, ranging from work wear in specific industries to the almost infinite scenarios of personal use including energy harvesting/storage, force/pressure measurement, porosity or color variation, and sensors (movement, temperature, chemicals). [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] However, performance, scalability, and cost problems have restricted the deployment of currently available smart textiles. To build smart textiles on an industrial scale, method of manufacturing and material selection are two important requirements. The approach of new energy materials and novel fabrication methods are essential to develop wearable technologies. Wearable energy generating devices that can be seamlessly integrated into garments are a critical component of the wearable electronics genre. Currently flexible fiber energy harvesters have attracted significant attention due to their ability to be integrated into fabrics, or stitched into existing textiles. Large-scale production of energy harvester fibers using conventional manufacturing processes, however, is still a challenge.Energy harvesting from environmental mechanical sources such as body movements including finger imparting, [8] pushing, [9] stretching, [10] bending, [11] twisting, [12] air flow, [13] transportation movement, [14] and sound waves [15] has attracted widespread attention to promote flexible self-powered devices. [16] The best common mechanical energy harvesting methods are based on piezoelectric materials. [17] Piezoelectric materials can be classified in three categories: piezoelectric ceramics, piezoelectric polymers, and piezoelectric composites. [18] Unlike the energy harvesters utilizing solar or thermal energy, performance of piezoelectric generators is generally not limited by environmental factors. [19] Piezoelectric generators have received massive interest in energy harvesting technology due to their unique ability to capture the ambient vibrations to generate electric signals. [20] The unique energy transduction of piezoelectric materials enables their applications in fields of energy harvesting, actuators, [21] sensors, [22] structural health monitoring, and use in biomedical devices. [23] Numerous approaches have been used to fabricate piezoelectric generators, such as coating, [24] spinning, [25] depositing, [26] and printing. [27] Wearable energy harvesting is of practical interest for many years and for diverse applications, including development of self-powered wireless sensors within garments for human health monitoring. Herein, a novel approach is reported to create wearable energy generators and sensors using nanostructured hybrid piezoelectric fibers and exploiting the enormous variety of textile architectures. It is found that high performance hybrid piezofiber is obtained using a barium titanate (BT) nanoparticle and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) with a mass ratio of 1:10. These fibers are knitted to form a wearable energy generator that pr...
