The field of energy harvesting is expanding to power various devices, including electric vehicles, with energy derived from their surrounding environments. The unique mechanical and electrical qualities of composite materials make them ideal for energy harvesting applications, and they have shown tremendous promise in this area. Yet additional studies are needed to fully grasp the promise of composite materials for energy harvesting in electric vehicles. This article reviews composite materials used for energy harvesting in electric vehicles, discussing mechanical characteristics, electrical conductivity, thermal stability, and cost-effectiveness. As a bonus, it delves into using composites in piezoelectric, electromagnetic, and thermoelectric energy harvesters. The high strength-to-weight ratio provided by composite materials is a major benefit for energy harvesting. Especially important in electric vehicles, where saving weight means saving money at the pump and driving farther between charges, this quality is a boon to the field. Many composite materials and their possible uses in energy harvesting systems are discussed in the article. These composites include polymer-based composites, metal-based composites, bio-waste-based hybrid composites and cement-based composites. In addition to describing the promising applications of composite materials for energy harvesting in electric vehicles, the article delves into the obstacles that must be overcome before the technology can reach its full potential. Energy harvesting devices could be more effective and reliable if composite materials were cheaper and less prone to damage. Further study is also required to determine the durability and dependability of composite materials for use in energy harvesting. However, composite materials show promise for energy harvesting in E.V.s. Further study and development are required before their full potential can be realized. This article discusses the significant challenges and potential for future research and development in composite materials for energy harvesting in electric vehicles. It thoroughly evaluates the latest advances and trends in this field.

The wind gust velocity of trains are above the cut in speed of wind turbines. Multiple cases studies estimates the available wind energy and potential electrical output with numerical and computational models. These gust velocities are dynamic nature. This work collects real time data of wind gust using data acquisition, conducted 4E and Weibull frequency distribution analysis. The acquired data is further used as a velocity signal to Simulink and wind emulator wind energy harvesting systems. This distinguish in producing benchmarking results when compared with numerical and computational models. From data interpretation and analysis, the wind gust are non-uniform and gust velocity ranges from 2.3 to 7.1m/s is recorded with a Weibull scale parameter value(A) of 5.54 m/s. The maximum power available for harvesting is after considering Betz limit is 159.6W, whilst Simulink and emulator energy harvesting systems produces 126.4W and 123.08W with a maximum exergy efficiency of 49.38 and 49.14%.The estimated wind energy available for 1KM range with wind energy systems on both side of traction poles is about 3.3KW/KM. The compared environmental and economic analysis reconfirms the feasibility of the proposed model with capacity factor 5.74%. Other findings are the corresponding variation in output with respect to dynamic-wind velocities is limited due to inertia and stored kinetic energy of system, the role of location, weather statistics and influence of tail winds in shaping wind gust velocity is also adjudged as crucial factors.

This study focused on preparing composite nanomats by incorporating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibers through the electrospinning process. A short review of piezoelectric PVDF-related research is presented. PVDF is known for its biocompatibility and piezoelectric properties. Since electrical signals in biological tissues have been shown to be relevant for therapeutic applications, the influence of the addition of AgNPs to PVDF on its piezoelectricity is studied, due to the ability of AgNPs to increase the piezoelectric signal, along with providing antibacterial properties. The prepared samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In addition, the biological activity of composites was examined using a cytotoxicity assay and an assessment of the antibacterial activity. The obtained results show that the incorporation of AgNPs into PVDF nanofibers further enhances the piezoelectricity (crystalline β-phase fraction), already improved by the electrospinning process, compared to solution-casted samples, but only with a AgNPs/PVDF concentration of up to 0.3%; a further increase in the nanoparticles led to a β-phase reduction. The cytotoxicity assay showed a promising effect of PVDF/AgNPs nanofibers on the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line, following the non-toxicity displayed in regard to the healthy MRC-5 cell line. The antibacterial effect of PVDF/AgNPs nanofibers showed promising antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, as a result of the Ag content. The anticancer activity, combined with the electrical properties of nanofibers, presents new possibilities for smart, multifunctional materials for cancer treatment development.
