摘要
A novel flexible composite thermal energy harvester is presented, which couples pyroelectric and piezoelectric effects of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) with shape memory effect of TiNiCu alloy. The harvester combines superior flexibility of PVDF with large temperature-induced strain of the shape memory alloy to harvest small and quasi-static temperature variations. The post-stamp size harvester (27.5 mm(3)) achieved an energy density of 0.41 mJ/cm(3) per event of temperature variation of 20 degrees C. When reaching 70 degrees C the harvester, consisting of a stack of four PVDF, powered a wireless node instantaneously without any storage unit. The use of PVDF quadruples the energy output, compared to previously reported PZT-based composites. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
