“…Electricity generation using environmental energy or ambient energy, known as energy harvesting, is a promising technique for supplying power to wireless devices and wireless networks. Vibration-type energy-generating elements, which convert vibration to electricity, mostly have their own eigen-frequency or resonant frequency [25,26]. Vibration at frequency ranges other than the specific frequency generally results in a decrease in the electricity generation efficiency.…”

We operated a Hall sensor using energy harvested from a magnetic wire. A battery-less sensor is expected to be a key device for the internet of things (IoT). Magnetization reversal in magnetic wires with bistable magnetization states induces a pulse voltage in a pickup coil. The amplitude of the voltage is independent of the applied field frequency, down to zero. This fast magnetization reversal is accompanied by a large Barkhausen jump, which has been known as the Wiegand effect. Electricity generation using this effect, obtained with twisted FeCoV magnetic wires, was studied. The energy obtained as a single pulse voltage was 600 nJ. The Hall sensor was operated with this pulse voltage. The pulse power of 0.88 V/1.3 mA was applied to the Hall sensor. The Hall voltage was proportional to the sensing magnetic field of 50-300 mT.Index Terms-Battery-less sensor, energy harvesting, FeCoV wire, Hall sensor, Wiegand effect, Wiegand pulse.

Summary Energy harvesting from pavements has been a topic of extensive research in the recent past. This domain has attracted not only the research community but also the industry and governmental authorities. The various sources exploited for energy harvesting from pavements and roadways are solar radiation, mechanical energy dissipated due to moving vehicles and pedestrians, geothermal energy, rainwater, and wind. This article presents an exhaustive and updated review of all potential means of energy harvesting from these sources. Following the introductory section, the article sequentially covers the energy harvesting methods and their research progress, materials, development of practical systems, commercial status, comparison of technologies, challenges, and concluding remarks. This study reveals that there is wide scope for further research and feasibility studies, which could lead to a wide‐spread implementation of the various technologies for energy harvesting from pavements and roads.

“…Micro-PEH is always designed as cantilever structure due to its low frequency for vibration energy harvesting, while nano-PEH can be used for Fig. 16 Scheme of the elements acting for energy harvesting by piezoelectric cymbals [34] scavenging tiny and irregular vibration energy such as human motion and muscle contraction, which is potential for medical science with better biology compatible. However, there still existed many problems that should be overcome, such as naturally frequency, low efficiency, etc.…”

“…Since asphalt pavement stiffness is between 1000 and 4000 MPa, PEH must have a stiffness coefficient among this range [33]. Moure et al [34] integrated 30,000 cymbals (single cymbal can generate to 16 μW for the pass of one heavy vehicle wheel) to embed into 100-m asphalt pavement with distance to the surface of 2 cm. The mechanical excitation provided by the car wheels deformed the asphalt road, and the cymbals embedded in the pavement layers below the road layer were excited.…”

With the rapid development of advanced technology, piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) with the advantage of simple structure, polluted relatively free, easily minimization, and integration has been used to collect the extensive mechanical energy in our living environment holding great promise to power the self-sustainable system and portable electronics. In this paper, attempts have been made to review the progress of piezoelectric materials and devices used for energy harvesting. The review focused on three parts: structure of piezoelectric devices (cantilever, cymbal, and stacks); theoretical mode, including vibration mode (d 31 and d 33 ) and its responding theories of different devices; and piezoelectric materials, among which the electric performance of Pb(ZrTi)O 3 -based, lead-free-based, and composites applied in bulk/micro/nano-PEH devices were introduced in details. It is suggested that a new structure of PEH should be designed by combining advantages of cantilever, stacks, and cymbal structure. Besides, high d 33 × g 33 value and low ε of piezoelectric materials are required in order to generate high electric output power for bulk/micro/nano-PEH. Additionally, lead-free piezoelectric ceramics is a candidate for manufacturing PEH devices, and nano-composite materials should be developed to further improve the flexibility of piezoelectric materials.
