“…Therefore, polymer materials with piezoelectric characteristics are of independent interest to energy harvesting due to their flexibility, low density (and correspondingly low weight), strength, biocompatibility, and small cost. Wearable and implantable devices are the examples of such applications [109,110], in which the polymer material bends or stretches due to limb motion or lung expansion during respiration [10]. The most common piezoelectric polymer is polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), known as a favorite polymer from the family of fluoropolymers, whose piezoelectric behavior is determined by oriented molecular dipoles, formed as the result of joint mechanical strain and electrical polarization of the ferroelectric β-phase of PVDF [108].…”

Technologies of energy harvesting have been developed intensively since the beginning of the twenty-first century, presenting themselves as alternatives to traditional energy sources (for instance, batteries) for small-dimensional and low-power electronics. Batteries have numerous shortcomings connected, for example, with restricted service life and the necessity of periodic recharging/replacement that create significant problems for portative and remote devices and for power equipment. Environmental energy covers solar, thermal, and oscillation energy. By this, the vibration energy exists continuously around us due to the operation of numerous artificial structures and mechanisms. Different materials (including piezoelectrics) and conversion mechanisms can transform oscillation energy into electrical energy for use in many devices of energy harvesting. Piezoelectric transducers possessing electric mechanical coupling and demonstrating a high density of power in comparison with electromagnetic and electrostatic sensors are broadly applied for the generation of energy from different oscillation energy sources. For the last decade, novel piezoelectric materials, transformation mechanisms, electrical circuits, and experimental and theoretical approaches with results of computer simulation have been developed for improving different piezoelectric devices of energy harvesting. This overview presents results, obtained in the area of piezoelectric energy harvesting for the last decade, including a wide spectrum of experimental, analytical, and computer simulation investigations.
