Temperature Field Analysis for PZT Pyroelectric Cells for Thermal Energy Harvesting
This paper proposes the idea of etching PZT to improve the temperature variation rate of a thicker PZT sheet in order to enhance the energy conversion efficiency when used as pyroelectric cells. A partially covered electrode was proven to display a higher output response than a fully covered electro...
