A single crystal Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3‐Pb(Zr,Ti)O3
(PMN‐PZT) energy harvester is demonstrated by solid‐state crystal growth and an optimized delamination process. The flexible harvester generates an output voltage of 100 V and a current of 20 µA. The advanced reconfigurable rectifying circuit enhanced conversion efficiency of the PMN‐PZT harvester is compared to conventional rectifier. Finally, a self‐powered military boot is fabricated using the harvester as a demonstration of use in operating consumer electronics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
