Abstract
Energy harvesters based on perovskite nanomaterials have garnered
significant attention in academia and industry because of their ability to transform
mechanical and thermal energies into electric power. These materials have a great deal
of promise for capturing body-induced and human activity-induced energy to power
implantable and portable low-power devices. This book chapter builds upon previous
works that have explored innovative materials and nanotechnologies for fabricating
ferroelectric generators. We give a brief overview of flexible piezoelectric and
pyroelectric energy harvesters' material selection procedure and reasonable
microstructure design. We also stress the unique abilities of perovskite materials as
energy collectors in biomedical applications, which include both conventional
ferroelectrics and recently developed ferroelectric biomaterials. Additionally, we
discuss the newest integration structures of hybrid generators with ferroelectric
nanomaterials, which significantly enhance the functionalities of the energy harvesters,
particularly for biological and implantable applications.
