Piezoelectric Buckled Beam Array on a Pacemaker Lead for Energy Harvesting

Abstract: Self‐sustainable energy generation represents a new frontier to significantly extend the lifetime and effectiveness of implantable biomedical devices. In this work, a piezoelectric energy harvester design is employed to utilize the bending of the lead of a cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator for generating electrical energy with minimal risk of interfering with cardiovascular functions. The proposed energy harvester combines flexible porous polyvinylidene fluoride–trifluoroethylene thin film with a buckled beam… Show more

“…To eliminate the wire connection from the outside of body to the inside, the inclusion or delivery of electrical power becomes a major challenge for implantable medical devices. Harvesting biomechanical energy from cardiac motion, respiratory movement, and blood flow can be a possible solution, but with the limitation of low output power density and highly restricted implantation sites 214,291,292 . In this regard, delivering mechanical energy from the outside of the body to the implanted devices becomes the most promising technology to provide enough power for a battery‐free implantable medical system.…”

“…More recently, low profile, modular and compliant thin film energy harvesters were developed based on existing cardiac pacemaker leads, with minimal risk of interfering with the cardiovascular function [185,186]. The porous piezoelectric cantilever converted the kinetic energy of a pacemaker lead motion into an electrical power output [185], or a buckled beam array design was employed to utilize the bending of the lead of a cardiac pacemaker for generating electrical energy [187].…”

“…Kim et al [18] developed a highly flexible P(VDF-TrFE) film-based energy harvesting device on a PDMS substrate. Dong and Wen et al [19] developed a piezoelectric energy harvester which was employed to utilize the bending of the lead of a cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator for generating electrical energy. Gradually, piezoelectric-based energy harvesting methods are combined with triboelectric or electromagnetic technology to form hybrid energy harvesting devices [20,21].…”
