Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting for Wearable and Implantable Applications
Miso Kim
Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science
As the human body is a tremendous storehouse of energy, the use of power harvesting devices to capture the energy lost during everyday human life is a captivating idea and has been one of the main topics facilitating the rapid growth of the power harvesting field. Piezoelectric materials produce electrical charge or voltage across them when a mechanical stress or strain is applied, or vice versa. Use of such functional materials enables conversion of biomechanical energy from human activities (e.g. walking, muscle stretching, etc.) into useful electrical energy. In order to develop human powered energy harvesting systems, characterization of available harvesting sources, appropriate materials selections, and optical device design are essentially required. In this talk, overview of prior research works and future perspectives are presented from such perspectives to provide design guidelines of highly efficient biomedical energy generators for wearable and implantable applications.
