研究目的
To develop a generalized theoretical method for optimizing the energy conversion and storage efficiencies of nanoscale flexible piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs) under various ambient excitations, and to establish a scaling law for system optimization.
研究成果
The generalized theoretical method effectively optimizes energy conversion and storage efficiencies for nanoscale flexible PEHs, with good agreement to experimental data. A scaling law reveals that output power density depends on an intrinsic normalized parameter and excitation mode, allowing for optimized design. Energy storage circuits require independent optimization criteria due to altered electromechanical behavior. The findings provide guidelines for enhancing PEH performance in biomechanical energy harvesting applications.
研究不足
The study focuses on theoretical modeling and validation with existing experimental data; it does not conduct new experiments. The energy storage circuit analyzed is simplified, and dynamic effects at resonance frequencies are not fully considered. Applications are limited to low-frequency excitations and specific PEH configurations.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs a theoretical modeling approach based on piezoelectricity and post-buckling analysis, validated with experimental data from previous studies. Circuit simulation software (PSIM) is used for energy storage analysis.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Experimental data from references [23,24,44,45] are used for validation, involving flexible PEHs subjected to triangle wave (TW), square wave (SW), and left ventricle (LV) mode excitations.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Flexible PEH devices with piezoelectric nanoribbons on elastomeric substrates, voltmeters or data acquisition cards with specific resistances (e.g., 34 MΩ, 60 MΩ, 300 MΩ), and circuit components like resistors and capacitors.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
PEHs are tested under mechanical loads (various frequencies, amplitudes, modes) and electrical conditions. Output voltages and powers are measured and compared with theoretical predictions.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Theoretical equations for output power are derived and compared with experimental results. Scaling laws are established to analyze parameter effects.
