Improvement of Pyroelectric Cells for Thermal Energy Harvesting

Improvement of Pyroelectric Cells for Thermal Energy Harvesting

This study proposes trenching piezoelectric (PZT) material in a thicker PZT pyroelectric cell to improve the temperature variation rate to enhance the efficiency of thermal energy-harvesting conversion by pyroelectricity. A thicker pyroelectric cell is beneficial in generating electricity pyroelectr...
