High-performance low-velocity turbulent flow piezoelectric energy harvester using porous Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.1Ti0.9O3 (BCZT) ceramics

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ) and a 5.1-fold increase in the charging power compared to the dense BCZT harvester. This work fills the knowledge gap related to piezoelectric harvesters in low-velocity turbulent flow, demonstrating the critical role of material design in water flow energy harvesting, and promoting the development of self-powered water monitoring technologies.
