Domain Switching and Energy Harvesting Capabilities in Ferroelectric Materials

Abstract: This paper deals with the understanding of depolarization mechanisms in ferroelectric materials and how to improve energy harvesting by converting thermal or mechanical energy into electrical energy. Depolarization mechanisms caused by temperature were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) to describe the evolution of the domain organization. Polarization variations, constituting the key parameter for energy harvesting, were simulated from the XRD data and explained in terms of domain switching, variation of t… Show more

“…The polarization is also gathered from the simultaneous electrical measurement ( P EM ( t )). [ 25 ] In Figure 3 b, the two polarizations, P XRD ( t ) and P EM ( t ), are similar during the D 1 -A period. However, from B to C 3 , the decrease in P EM ( t ) is slower and more linear than the decrease in P XRD ( t ) as a result of electrical losses in the circuit and the internal resistance of the material.…”

“…[ 25 ] The former effect is mainly produced by temperature variation. In the case of a tetragonal crystal structure, the latter is consistent with 90° domain switching, caused by the temperature variations and the external electric fi eld, and 180° domain switching, caused by the electric fi eld.…”

“…Among the lead-free piezoelectric materials, perovskite structure BaTiO 3 (BT) has been investigated extensively due to its high piezoelectric property, environmental harmony and compatibility with human tissue [6,7]. However, no lead-free materials reported can exhibit more excellent piezoelectric property than that of the PZT materials.…”

“…Activities are ongoing to develop better materials for high precision devices (Hinterstein et al, 2011;Hoffmann & Kungl, 2004). Another topical application is related to the piezoelectric energy harvesting in which a practical way of extracting energy is achievable through the Ericsson energy conversion cycle (Pruvost et al, 2010). Similarly, pyroelectric materials are utilized in infrared radiation detection matrices or pyroelectric energy harvesting components (Olsen & Evans, 1983).…”
