Abstract
For a type-1 piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH), in which stress develops in the supporting system of the piezoelectric materials, the electromechanical coupling factor (k ij ) of the piezoelectric materials is important for the output power at the resonance frequency. Therefore, soft-piezoelectric materials are good candidates for these PEHs. For type-2 PEHs, in which stress develops in the piezoelectric material and supporting system, the figure of merit (FOM) of the output power at the resonance frequency is (k ij 2 × Q m )/s 11 E , where Q m and s 11 E are the mechanical quality factor and the elastic compliance of piezoelectric materials, respectively. In particular, the effect of Q m is very large for these PEHs, indicating that hard-piezoelectric materials are good candidates for type-2 PEHs operating at the resonance frequency. For both type-1 and type-2 PEHs operating at off-resonance frequency, the k ij 2 × d ij × g ij is the FOM of the output power of the PEHs, where g ij is a piezoelectric voltage constant. Therefore, soft-piezoelectric materials are also good candidates for both type-1 and type-2 PEHs operating at the off-resonance frequency.
