AbstractPiezoelectric nanogenerators (PNGs) have been studied as renewable energy sources. PNGs consisting of organic piezoelectric materials such as poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) containing oxide complex powder have attracted much attention for their stretchable and high-performance energy conversion. In this study, we prepared a PNG combined with PVDF and lanthanum-modified bismuth titanate (Bi4−XLaXTi3O12, BLT) ceramics as representative ferroelectric materials. The inserted BLT powder was treated by high-speed ball milling and its particle size reduced to the nanoscale. We also investigated the effect of particle size on the energy-harvesting performance of PNG without polling. As a result, nano-sized powder has a much larger surface area than micro-sized powder and is uniformly distributed inside the PNG. Moreover, nano-sized powder-mixed PNG generated higher power energy (> 4 times) than the PNG inserted micro-sized powder.

The concept of energy harvesting works towards developing self-powered devices that do not require replaceable power supplies. Energy scavenging devices are designed to capture the ambient energy surrounding the electronics and convert it into usable electrical energy. A number of sources of harvestable ambient energy exist, including waste heat, vibration, electromagnetic waves, wind, flowing water, and solar energy. While each of these sources of energy can be effectively used to power remote sensors, the structural and biological communities have placed an emphasis on scavenging vibrational energy with ferroelectric materials. Ferroelectric materials have a crystalline structure that provide a unique ability to convert an applied electrical potential into a mechanical strain or vice versa. Based on the properties of the material, this paper investigates the technique of power harvesting and storage.

Battery Technology

The continual advances in wireless technology and low power electronics have allowed the deployment of small remote sensor networks. However, current portable and wireless devices must be designed to include electrochemical batteries as the power source. The use of batteries can be troublesome due to their limited lifespan, thus necessitating their periodic replacement. Furthermore, the growth of battery technology has remained relatively stagnant over the past decade while the performance of computing systems has grown steadily, which leads to increased power usage from the electronics. In the case of wireless sensors that are to be placed in remote locations, the sensor must be easily accessible or of disposable nature to allow the device to function over extended periods of time. For this reason the primary question becomes how to provide power to each node. This issue has spawned the rapid growth of the energy harvesting field. Energy scavenging devices are designed to capture the ambient energy surrounding the electronics and convert it into usable electrical energy. The concept of power harvesting works towards developing self-powered devices that do not require replaceable power supplies. However, when designing a vibration based energy harvesting system the maximum energy generation occurs when the resonant frequency of the system is tuned to the input. This poses certain issues for their practical application because structural systems rarely vibrate at a signal frequency. Therefore, this effort will investigate the optimal geometric design of two dimensional energy harvesting systems for maximized bandwidth. Topology and shape optimization will be used to identify the optimal geometry and experiments will be performed to characterize the energy harvesting improvement when subjected to random vibrations.

High field transport in phosphor materials is an essential element of thin film electroluminescent device performance. Due to the high accelerating fields in these structures (1–3 MV/cm), a complete description of transport under high field conditions utilizing information on the full band structure of the material is critical to understand the light emission process due to impact excitation of luminescent impurities. Here we investigate the role of band structure for ZnS, GaN, and SrS based on empirical pseudopotential calculations to study its effect on the high field energy distribution of conduction band electrons.
