“…In addition, biomedical energy harvesters, especially bio-implantable energy harvesters, are required to be biocompatible, which necessitates biocompatible device components including piezoelectric material, electrode, substrate, and encapsulation [ 75 ]. For piezoelectric biomedical energy harvesters, electrode materials have been reported including Cr [ 76 ], Ag [ 77 ], Cu [ 78 ], Au [ 76 ], Al [ 79 ], graphene [ 80 ], and indium tin oxide (ITO) [ 81 ], substrate materials have been reported including plastic films (e.g., polyethylene terephthalate (PET) [ 82 , 83 ], and polyimide(PI) [ 84 ]) and metallic foils (e.g., Ni [ 85 ], Pt [ 86 ], and Ni–Cr alloy [ 87 ]), and encapsulation materials have been reported such as PI [ 84 ], PDMS [ 88 ], and PDMS/Parylene-C [ 89 ]. Initial studies have confirmed their biosafety [ 76 , 89 ], but long-term biocompatibility studies using large animal models or clinical studies are highly desired to conclude on their long-term biocompatibility.…”
