Energy harvesting technology may be considered an ultimate solution to replace batteries and provide a long-term power supply for wireless sensor networks. Looking back into its research history, individual energy harvesters for the conversion of single energy sources into electricity are developed first, followed by hybrid counterparts designed for use with multiple energy sources. Very recently, the concept of a truly multisource energy harvester built from only a single piece of material as the energy conversion component is proposed. This review, from the aspect of materials and device configurations, explains in detail a wide scope to give an overview of energy harvesting research. It covers single-source devices including solar, thermal, kinetic and other types of energy harvesters, hybrid energy harvesting configurations for both single and multiple energy sources and single material, and multisource energy harvesters. It also includes the energy conversion principles of photovoltaic, electromagnetic, piezoelectric, triboelectric, electrostatic, electrostrictive, thermoelectric, pyroelectric, magnetostrictive, and dielectric devices. This is one of the most comprehensive reviews conducted to date, focusing on the entire energy harvesting research scene and providing a guide to seeking deeper and more specific research references and resources from every corner of the scientific community.

“…Other review papers on MEMS PEHs have focused on several issues-ZnO nonorods and flexible substrates and ZnO-based nano-devices [42]; the comparison of existing piezoelectric micro generators (including impact-coupled, resonant and human-powered devices, and the cantilever-based setup) with electromagnetic and electrostatic mechanisms [43]; the description of micro-and nanodevice fabrication techniques, performance metrics, and device characterization [14]; hybrid electromagnetic-piezoelectric and triboelectric/piezoelectric MEMS-based harvesters and their privileges [44]; ZnO nanostructurebased photovoltaics; piezoelectric nano-generators, and the hybrid approach to the harvesting of energy [45]; the benefits, capacities, applications, challenges, and constraints of micro-power harvesting methods using thermoelectric, thermophotovoltaic, piezoelectric, and microbial fuel cells [38]; the use of nanostructured polymer-based piezoelectric and triboelectric materials as flexible, lightweight, easy/cheap-to-fabricate, lead-free, biocompatible, and robust harvesters [46]; theoretical and experimental characterization methods for predicting and determining the potential output of nano wire-based nanogenerators [47]; reviewing the research progress in the field of piezoelectric nanogenerators and describing their working mechanisms, modeling, and structural design [48]; and, finally, discussing the impact of composition, orientation, and microstructures on piezoelectric properties of perovskite thin films such as PbZr1-xTixO3 (PZT) in applications such as low-voltage radio frequency MEMS switches and resonators, actuators for millimeter-scale robotics, droplet ejectors, energy harvesters for unattended sensors, and medical imaging transducers [49].…”

Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting: A Systematic Review of Reviews

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the last decade, an enormous amount of attention has been paid to piezoelectric harvesters due to their flexibility in design and the increasing need for small-scale energy generation. As a result, various energy review papers have been presented by many researchers to cover different aspects of piezoelectric-based energy harvesting, including piezo-materials, modeling approaches, and design points for various applications. Most of these papers have tried to shed light on recent progress in related interdisciplinary fields, and to pave the road for future prospects in the development of these technologies. However, there are some missing parts, overlaps, and even some contradictions in these review papers. In the present review of these review articles, recommendations for future research directions suggested by the review papers have been systematically summed up under one umbrella. In the final section, topics for missing review papers, concluding remarks on outlooks and possible research topics, as well as potentially misleading strategies, have been presented. The review papers have been evaluated based on their merits and subcategories and the authors’ choice papers have been presented for each section based on clear classification criteria.

“…Salim et al [52] announced that to further increase the effectiveness of the MEMS-based harvesters from ambient energy, researchers started to venture into hybrid energy harvesters. They elaborated details of hybrid electromagnetic-piezoelectric and triboelectric/piezoelectric MEMS-based harvesters and their privileges such as small features, ability for monolithic integration with the integrated circuit in a single platform, robustness, and easy fabrication in bulk.…”

An extensive description of research lines for future research is provided.• Statistics of publications and funding organizations are presented. KeywordsEnergy harvesting; piezoelectric; energy conversion; renewable energies; micro-electro-mechanical systems piezo-energy harvesting systems.An extensive search among electronic sources identified about 90 review papers in diverse applications related to the piezoelectric energy harvesting. As will be demonstrated later, such papers present many different concluding remarks corresponding to area of usage, materials, design approaches, and mathematical models. We tried to perform a very detailed searching procedure with too many keywords and by several search engines to cover all published review papers or the review papers in which "piezo" was not mentioned directly in the title.Statistics of publications during two recent decades excluding conference papers and conference reviews with the keyword "piezo AND energy harvesting" extracted from SCOPUS are shown in Fig. 2. Results from SCOPUS included overall number of 4435 documents, containing 874 open access papers, 130 book chapters, and 36 books. The National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities, and the National Research Foundation of Korea were the most frequent funding sponsors. Most common subject areas were engineering, material sciences, physics and astronomy, chemistry, and energy. An extrapolation shown in the figure anticipates publications of a huge number of articles (about 5000 articles a year) during the coming decade.Due to interdisciplinary nature of piezoelectric energy harvesting, prediction of behavior of the piezo-generators are related to different thermoelectro-mechanical sciences as well as material engineering. We have illustrated a systematic map of various aspects of piezo-energy harvesting and design in Fig. 3. Different branches of related sciences and applications include fabrication methods, hybrid systems, performance evaluation, size, usage methods, configurations, modeling aspects, economical points, energy sources, optimization, design of an electric interface, and selection of a proper material. All sub-branches in the figure will be discussed in subsections of the present paper. In all sections, the review articles have been presented in the order of the year of publication. This is so helpful to understand the revolutionary progressing level of the energy harvesting during the last decades. The outline of the paper is as follows. At the first section, the focus is on the reviews about the design process, structures, the material considerations, size effects, and the mathematical modeling challenges. At the second part of the article, the main theme of the review will be evaluating applications of the piezo-harvesters. The most common applications include vibrational energy sources, fluid-based harvesters, scavenging energy from ambient waste ener-
